Mary Kay,
I don't think that your analogy is valid. Lansinoh was purchased by Pigeon with the intention to use it to enter the breastfeeding market (as stated in their Annual Report). They knew that it would be difficult to do that with their Pigeon name but Lansinoh had a good name that was liked and trusted. That's not to say that some of their products might not be OK. But that also doesn't mean that you assist them in marketing. Companies that market products under the scope of the International Code are harming mothers and babies and breaching their human rights. It's not a small thing and should be taken seriously.

I do agree about not being a marketing rep for ANY company but the reality of my situation is that I work with a low income population who often spend the least amount they can on a pump. I do not desire to spend my own money to research what is on the market but face the reality every day of patients/clients who come back to see me using a "tommy tippee" pump or some other low cost complicated, less than helpful pump. You can send it back to them but please don't destroy it; donate it to goodwill or other charitable organization for young mothers.

Most of the time when a business is acquired by another corporation, those in the "trenches" don't have anything to say about it. I may be naïve but it's like having a friend with a boyfriend or husband you don't like......
