Mead Johnson, Maker of Enfamil, Loses Multi-Million Dollar False Advertising Case Against Store-Bran
This is a sponsored guest post written by a Press Release on behalf of PBM Products. Post powered by Sponzai.
GORDONSVILLE, VA., December 2 , 2009—PBM Products, LLC, a leading infant formula company that supplies store-brand infant formulas to Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, Kroger, Walgreens, and other retailers, has received a favorable jury verdict and a $13.5 million damages award in its false advertising lawsuit against Mead Johnson & Co., the operating subsidiary of Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (NYSE: MJN) (“Mead Johnson”), the makers of the national-brand Enfamil® LIPIL® Infant Formula. Mead Johnson is 83 percent-owned by Bristol-Myers Squibb.
PBM’s lawsuit claimed that Mead Johnson engaged in false and misleading campaigns against PBM’s competing store-brand of infant formulas, suggesting they do not provide the same nutrition as Mead Johnson’s brands. PBM’s store-brand infant formulas cost up to 50 percent less than Enfamil® LIPIL®. The $13.5 million in damages awarded by the jury in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia is one of the largest damages awards ever for a false advertising case.
“This decision by a jury of the people confirms that Mead Johnson’s ads have been false in suggesting that there is a nutritional difference between our store-brand formula products and their products, when in fact the only major difference is price,” said PBM CEO Paul B. Manning. “Despite Mead Johnson’s scare tactics, parents are assured that PBM’s formula products are as high quality and nutritious as Mead Johnson’s.”
U.S. District Court Judge James R. Spencer issued his written rulings yesterday following the November 10th jury verdict. Judge Spencer’s written rulings permanently enjoined Mead Johnson from making any false statements concerning PBM’s infant formula, including the claims Mead Johnson previously made in Enfamil advertising that "It may be tempting to try a less expensive store brand, but only Enfamil LIPIL is clinically proven to improve brain and eye development," and "there are plenty of other ways to save on baby expenses without cutting back on nutrition." The Court also ordered Mead Johnson to retrieve from the public domain all advertising or promotional materials containing these or any other false claims about PBM’s store brand infant formula.

The nutritional supplements under examination in the case are two fats, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid), which Mead Johnson calls “LIPIL®” solely for marketing purposes and touts as promoting infant brain and eye development. PBM’s claim focused on Mead Johnson’s direct mailing to more than 1.6 million parents of an alarming blurry picture of a child’s cartoon duck next to a clear picture of the same image which suggested that anything other than the Enfamil LIPIL® blend of ingredients is inferior and will result in poor eye and brain development. Other parts of the false advertising campaign consist of statements that only Enfamil LIPIL has been proven to confer visual and mental benefits on infants, and store-brand formulas are a “cut-back in nutrition” compared to Enfamil.
PBM successfully argued that these advertisements were false and misleading especially since PBM store- brand infant formulas have the same nutrients at the same levels as Enfamil. PBM infant formulas are formulated to contain DHA and ARA, and are sourced from the same supplier in amounts which equal or exceed the DHA and ARA in Mead Johnson’s Enfamil LIPIL®.
This decision marks the third time PBM Products has sued Mead Johnson for false advertising claims. On the prior occasions Mead Johnson admitted that it made false claims about PBM’s products. It is also the first false advertising case to focus on the issue of DHA and ARA nutritional ingredients in formula, which were introduced into the market in 2003 and have become a staple in recent years by many brands as key components for infant development.
“This jury verdict should send a significant and clear message to Mead Johnson about the way it conducts marketing and advertising for its brands,” said Manning. “This lawsuit also demonstrates our complete commitment to defending our products and the valuable brands of our retail partners.”
“As a parent and supporter of children’s medical research, I take a personal responsibility in assuring our customers that the products we produce are healthy and nutritionally equivalent to brand names like Enfamil® LIPIL®. It is important, especially now, for parents to know that there are lower priced yet highly nutritious store-brand formulas that will provide the same benefit to their children as any national brand name formula product,” Manning added.
The U.S. infant formula market is estimated at $3.4 billion and the global market is estimated at $7.9 billion.
All of PBM’s formulas, and for that matter all of U.S. infant formulas, are subject to the exacting standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), pursuant to the Infant Formula Act of 1980. This legislation vested FDA with the authority to ensure that all infant formula products sold in the United States provide the necessary levels of identified nutrients required for the growth of healthy babies.

PBM Products was represented by the law firm Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP. Partners from the firm’s advertising practice, Harold P. Weinberger and Jonathan M. Wagner in New York, led the team.

swine flu
okay.. so I am absolutley terrified of the swine flu, I must admit. I am one of those who went out and bought masks right away, and wanted to lock myself away in the house. I have reasons for this, but we won’t go into that. Anyways.. I am so nervous about when school starts up again. Kids are just germ magnets, and it is going to be impossible to keep them healthy. You can’t when you have that many people in one area, who don’t really know or care how dangerous germs can be. The scariest part is, if they don’t get the vaccines out in time. I know everything has something or other to say about whether or not there should be a vaccine after the 1976 swine flu vaccine catastrophe, but it really is the only defense that those who have a lowered immune system, or other risk factors have.
about public health
The World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier today, Tuesday, that countries should consider closing schools as a way to slow the spread of novel H1N1 swine flu.
The United Nations agency also said the official death toll of the disease since it emerged in April has risen to 700 from the 429 reported two weeks ago.
According to a Reuters news report earlier today, WHO spokeswoman Alphaluck Bhatiasevi told the press that 125,000 laboratory-confirmed cases have been reported, and that:
“School closure is one of the mitigation measures that could be considered by countries.”
Last week, because the virus has spread so fast, the WHO asked countries to stop reporting individual cases. The novel H1N1 has spread as much in 6 weeks as previous pandemic flu viruses spread in 6 months, they said.
Countries should now focus on reducing spread and looking for unusual patterns, such as how it affects absenteeism.
The WHO said it was up to individual countries to decide whether to close schools and it was up to their own health authorities to do what they thought was right to stem the spread of swine flu.
Bhatiasevi said different countries were facing the “pandemic at different levels at different times”.
“So it is really up to countries to consider what mitigation measures suit them in regard to the situation in individual countries,” she added.
A European team of researchers wrote yesterday in an article published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases that governments thinking of using school closure (known as “class dismissal” in North America) need to:
“Weigh the potential health benefits of reducing transmission and thus case numbers against high economic and social costs, difficult ethical issues, and the possible disruption of key services such as health care.”
Dr Simon Cauchemez of Imperial College London and colleagues also cautioned that it was still important to plan to minimize the negative consequences, whether school closure was to be a deliberate policy or just a result of too many staff being absent.
However, they did suggest that closing schools might slow the spread of the virus and buy time until vaccine doses were available.
Bhatiasevi told Reuters that the WHO was also co-ordinating a network of mathematicians, epidemiologists and virologists who are using mathematical models to work out various pros and cons of different measures and forecast the most cost-effective ways that countries might use to slow down the spread of swine flu.
