No. The lab would not shut down. It would probably not even notify anyone outside the company of the alignment problem or the escape attempts.
The evidence would be buried, and is unlikely to come to the attention of anyone outside the lab until after a devastating incident.
For real-world examples, look to other industries.
Perhaps the two clearest examples are:
The UK Post Office “Horizon” computer system. This was known to be making egregious errors, yet postmasters were prosecuted and imprisoned on the known-faulty say-so of the Horizon system.
Grenfell Tower Fire. The public enquiry has found multiple cases where the evidence that the cladding was highly flammable and unsuited for use on tall buildings was deliberately hidden from the authorities, and even when the authorities knew (or should have known), the evidence was ignored.
Similar cases can be found throughout the EEA, US and Canada.
