Citizenship Interview

It would be less than a week before the final day. I am not feeling nervous about it not until it comes back to my mind! lol. I am still continuing to refresh my mind with regards to the questions that I have to study, so I wouldn't be in panic mode on the day. I hope and pray that my mind wouldn't go blank, as it really happens when I get too nervous. Am praying hard to keep me relax. I think that is all I need.

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/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.

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.

A Surprising News!

My sis-in-law called me today about our house we bought in the Philippines, and she told me they are giving us options to have a house which is already 80% done, and ready for inspection. The actual house assigned to us will not be ready until next year, so I and hubby chose the latter which means, our planned vacation around November-December this year is for sure. We consider this a big blessing from God as it would turn out that our house would be ready much earlier than as expected ;)...thanks be to God!

Rainy Day Shopping

It was raining the whole day today, but we still decided to go to BJ's for our bulk shopping (groceries). We usually get many things from BJ's and would last like almost 2 months! We consume perishable items good for a month, so no need to be running back and forth to the grocery store. Tomorrow will be more exciting...shopping at Prime Outlets! yey! We are hoping there should be a lot of discounts so we can save ;). And besides, the weather is much more warm. That would be better!

My New Portable Closet


Yesterday, I got my new portable closet which I ordered. It would be a big help saving some space at home so I can put some of my seasonal clothes in it. It was really challenging since I don't have any walk-in closet that's big, nor a wardrobe cabinet that can hold much larger clothes. Would you believe I use every wardrobe cabinet in the 3 other rooms in the house? I've realized all my clothes are just piling up and I could no longer fit them in to any of my closets, LOL! I am even giving away some for donations, but I receive new ones every Christmas, and so I don't want to give away brand new clothes ;).
Anyway, it was such a challenge assembling this one, and so I had to ask help from hubby. Poor us! we sweat like crazy inverting, connecting and disconnecting everything...well, there was a little messing up since the instructions were not really specific, so we just played mix and match, LOL! Whew! it was worth all the effort.

New Cellphone!


Did I tell you am a gadget lover? :). Well, today my new iPhone that I ordered online arrived. This is the 3Gs and is unlocked. This means I can use any SIM card including the one I use in the Philippines. I just thought of getting one, since I don't wanna be carrying a lot of cellphones when I go Philippines for vacation. I have my cell phone exclusively by AT&T and is locked. It's very expensive using it out of the country although I got the roaming features. In case I wanna use it, it's only for emergency.
I discovered it's very expensive buying an unlock phones in the US, specially Apple phones! But it's worth the price {wink}, so no regrets!

Keeping Your Jewelry Clean

If you've got a lot of jewelries, here is a simple DIY combo to keep them gleaming and sparkling. It works for me as I do have some ;).
  • Mix 1 cup warm water, 1/4 tsp. ammonia and half tsp. mild dishwashing soap.
  • Soak jewelries for a few minutes.
  • Polish lightly with a toothbrush, rinse and let dry on paper towels.
This works well and is safe for gold, platinum, silver and all stones, except for pearls. The pearls can be wiped with damp cloth.

Save Our Skin

Have you heard about Keratosis Pilaris? That's the big name for the small rash like bumps on your limbs.
This rash like bumps can extend on to your arms, legs and thighs. The raised areas are actually tiny ingrown hairs. They say the condition is often hereditary, and unfortunately incurable.

Treatment:
The best step to take to get smoother skin is gentle exfoliation. Medical experts turn to micro-dermabrasion and laser treatments.
The best at-home treatment is a cleanser with salicylic acid or lotion with alpha hydroxy acid or lactic acid.

Christmas Decors, Down!

Today, I started putting away our Christmas decors at home. How time flies! It felt our tree was up for only a couple weeks, and now I am taking it down, lol! Good thing was, I have lesser stuff to be kept away since we were not able to put the Christmas light around the bushes outside. The winter storm just covered all our bushes for a few days before Christmas, so we thought of not putting it out. Besides, it was no time to brush those thick snows away...so, no good options at all! Anyway, Christmas is over, New Year's eve had past, and it's now 2010!!!! yey!

It's probably time to check your air conditioner filter at home. Experience wise, I get allergy when we don't change our filter at home. One time, I forgot to buy one and I just kept sneezing. When I checked my used AC filter, it was just like a burned thing full of gray stuff on it...eeewww!!I'm glad I can buy them online without driving to the store or whenever I need to have one for emergency in case I would forget one. Besides, it can save me a lot, plus no hassles, no need to spend some gas going to the store, either.

Happy 2010!

It's year of the tiger as they would say. But nothing can ever beat what a prayer can do in trying to live a better and more blessed life this year.
We celebrated quietly at home with a "big bang" by watching TV, lol. After the famous ball dropped in New York that midnight, I and my husband had a toast together with our loud cheers! That's it. No need to spend a lot just to join the crowd and embracing the cold temperature out!
Have a fruitful New Year everyone!
