Why "the market" can't regulate corporations

Well, good old DuPont has been hiding a study it did that said that they are poisoning us.  No sane person expects Corporations to do anything that isn't in their own interest and that's why we need a strong federal government so that we can have an EPA that is actually testing and regulating new products that come to market, instead of relying on reports from the people making the product.  Libertarians would abolish government regulation altogether and let the magic of the marketplace solve any problems, saying that if a company made something that wasn't safe, people wouldn't buy it and the company would be forced to improve their product.  But explain to me how people dying from cancer due to this 20 years from now can have any impact on Du Pont doing this today?
