In False Advertising Case, Court Finds Store Brand Infant Formula As Nutritious As National Brand

December 2, 2009: 04:58 AM EST
A federal jury agreed with store brand infant formula supplier PBM Products, LLC, that Mead Johnson & Co. engaged in false advertising when it suggested that PBM’s products, which cost about half of national brand Enfamil formula, do not provide the same nutrition. The jury award of $13.5 million in damages is “one of the largest damages awards ever for a false advertising case,” PBM said in a statement. Mead Johnson’s ads had stated that "there are plenty of other ways to save on baby expenses without cutting back on nutrition" buy purchasing PBM’s infant formula.
