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 , 2009PBM 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 details of the decision and the complaint are posted online in full at:


 


·      http://www.pbmproducts.com/docs/Order_Laches.pdf


·      http://www.pbmproducts.com/docs/PBM_Complaint_MJ_III_LIPIL.pdf


 


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. For more information, visit this FDA link.


 


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.

December 2009 Goals

Goal 1: Log at least 15 hours of exercise - I got an exercise bike as an early/actually really late present from last Christmas this weekend, so hoping that helps me stay motivated with different things to do and log my 30 minutes a day.

Goal 2: Weigh 147 pounds (i.e. lose 5 pounds) - Same old number...at least I am maintaining and not gaining

Goal 3: Do Body Test every Monday and last day of the month - Almost did it last month, so should be doable assuming my balance board gets moved

Monday, November 30, 2009

November Goal Wrap Up

Goal 1: Log at least 15 hours of exercise - Only logged a total of 5 hours and 13 minutes this month. Basically did horrible at it.

Goal 2: Weigh 147 pounds (i.e. lose 5 pounds) - I think I have maintained my weight and am still at 152. I was not able to weigh in today, as I am in the process of moving. The Wii and a TV has gotten moved, but neither are hooked up and the balance board has not even gotten over here, yet.

Goal 3: Do Body Test every Monday and last day of the month - Did every Monday until today, which means I also missed today as the last day of month. At least this is one goal I almost did complete.

October Goals

Goal 1: Log at least 15 hours of exergaming - I only did 9 hours and 2 minutes of exergaming, although I did do 3 hours and 45 minutes of non-exergaming exercise. Still not even a total of 15 hours of exercise.

Goal 2: Weigh 147 pounds (i.e. lose 5 pounds) - Did not end up losing any. Still weigh 152.

Goal 3: Do Body Test on at least 25 of this month's 31 days - Did not do 25 times, but mostly because I decided to change to weighing in only on Mondays and the last day of the month.

October 2009 Wii Exergaming Goals

This month I hope to actually make my exercise goals for once. I keep trying to get them, but I keep failing mostly because of being out of town. This month I plan to be home all once for the first time in probably at least six months. The weekends will be tough this month with two craft shows, but I am hoping to stay motivated and do exergaming early each day before heading to the shows.

Goal 1: Log at least 15 hours of exergaming
Goal 2: Weigh 147 pounds (i.e. lose 5 pounds)
Goal 3: Do Body Test on at least 25 of this month's 31 days

9/27/09 Exergaming Log: Gold's Gym

Today I got my exergaming in by playing Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. I got back home late last night from my week at the beach. I am sad to have gained a pound over the week even though I ate way healthier than normal and did get a good amount of walking and stair climbing down and back up from the beach. Thus I am taking advantage of getting home a whole day early by getting back to my exergaming daily goal today instead of the original plan of being able to get back to it tomorrow.

Below is a breakdown of my exergaming today.

Prepared Workout - Hardcore:
Weaving Combo - 6 minutes
Ducking Combo - 22 minutes
Push Ups - 0 (I can barely do actual push ups much less the crap of trying to do them with the balance board, which does not allow for spreading of hands far enough apart or recognize when I am doing one)

9/18/09 Exergaming Log: Gold's Gym

Today I got my exergaming in by playing Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. Slacked off yesterday and did not play any exergaming games, although I got a little exercise in with bowling league last night. Not a good time to slack off with me leaving for a week vacation on Sunday and not much hope of good quality exercise during that week, but at the same time I put it off to get other things done that need to get finished before I leave. Today I forced myself to do it and boy does it feel better to get it in and I feel way more refreshed and less stressed to focus on what needs to get done. Now hopefully that motivation get me doing it first thing tomorrow as well as at 4am before I leave town at 5:30am on Sunday.

9/16/09 Exergaming Log: Gold's Gym

This morning I got my exergaming in by playing Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. Still had one Advanced Lessons I have never done, so I again did A La Carte today. Probably will go back to Prepared Lessons tomorrow. Too hard to decide what lessons to do otherwise. That or might do Wii Fit instead, but kind of been doing Gold's Gym this week because I will be out of town doing no Wii exergaming next week and then it will only be a week home before the new Wii Fit Plus comes out, which I already preordered. Figured I should get tired of Gold's Gym before that comes and not feel like it is a hard choice to mix it up and try out Wii Fit instead of my current favorite Gold's Gym.

Below is a breakdown of my exergaming today.

Weaving Combo - 21 minutes
Hook Combo - 13 minutes

Punch Count: 1,230
Minutes: 34
Estimated Calories Burned: 210

9/14/09 Exergaming Log: Gold's Gym

This morning I got my exergaming in by playing Gold's Gym Cardio Workout. I really love working out with the shape boxing on this game. Today I did a Hardcore Prepared Workout and an extra shape boxing routine to get over 30 minutes or exercise. I have not done the Log Chopping exercise in a long time. Boy is it harder than I remember. It is not that it is that long of an exercise or even that hard to complete, but it is intense if you go all out.

Below is a breakdown of my minutes exergaming today.

Prepared Workout: Hardcore
Weaving Combo - 6 minutes
Left and Right Ducking Combo - 16 minutes
Log Chopping - 1 minute

Beginner Combo - 14 minutes

Punch Count: 1,260
Minutes: 36 minutes
Estimated Calories Burned: 223
