PBM Wins Lawsuit

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

You all know that I have worked very hard to provide breast milk for Little Sister. You all know how strongly I believe in breastfeeding. You all know how angry I am with Nestle for what they are doing in Ethiopia. You are probably also aware that Big Brother drank formula when he was a baby. When we picked him up from Guatemala he was drinking Similac so that is what we used. And now I think I can feel confident that they were the company I used. Because it turns out that Mead Johnson (the makers of Enfamil) are underhanded and deceiving as well.

In case you have not heard PBM Products (the company who makes generic brand formula found in Walmart, Target, and many other stores) has won a lawsuit against Mead Johnson because of a commercial they ran. The commercial insuiated that Enfamil LIPIL is healthier than generic brands. The plain and simple fact about formula is that it is regulated by the FDA, which means that ALL brands are the same nutritional value. So, the lawsuit was basically a false advertising suit and it is accurate. PBM won $13.5 million dollars. And personally, I am glad. I am glad that Mead Johnson will be paying for that one.

I only wish they could have to pay back all the families who paid extra money for Enfamil. Over time it will cost a family extra hundreds of dollars. And personally I could use that hundreds of dollars. So, I am very frustrated with Mead Johnson for kicking people while they are down. Because in truth most moms who have made the decision to feed their babies formula are already cautious and feeling a little guilty.

We all know that breast milk is best. And the truth is that all moms (even those of us who have given our babies' formula) want our babies' to be getting the best thing they possibly can. I know I was desperate for my baby to get the best thing out there. And so when someone suggests that one formula is better than another we moms are ready, willing and able to jump through whatever hoops we have to get what is best for our baby. So, Mead Johnson I say Shame on you as well.
