The invention and utilization of X-ray machines was a huge medical breakthrough though over time the negative effects of the X-Ray began to emerge. Problems, like burning, infection, swelling, cancer, forced the medical and scientific community to take a closer look at the mechanics and workings of the X-Ray process.
It was only after Marie Curie's discovery of radium that scientists realized radiation was also produced during the X-Ray process, and this caused deformities and illnesses. The worst part of it all was companies were keeping all of this information in secrecy from the public with no warnings while working to improve the safety of the machinery.
Heroin was another invention that in the beginning was heralded as beneficial. It was introduced by the Bayer corporation in 1898 being used as a cough medication, non-addictive morphine substitute and even was said to be a cure for morphine addiction. The truth about heroin was a huge problem for the Bayer corporation in when it became public in 1910 as it was massively popular.
I hope this helps you, and have a good one. ~J
