If it turns out that this is the only study, then John and his team must get advice from expert researchers in the field as to the next step. The company itself, as well as the team John is working with, must realize that the project has not received the attention it deserves and that there would be serious consequences. They cannot blame John for being a poor team player. To ignore such a potentially serious problem is to flirt with potential loss of life and bankrupting lawsuits if that one study proves to be accurate.
