Perhaps the distinction between "market" and "make/sell" is a key
point here? This is perhaps getting a little off topic so I'm happy
for replies to go privately... Avent recently started a promotion in
NZ where they were doing a freebie "powder dispenser" giveaway with
each pack consisting of manual pump and two bottles.
To me, that's very very different from a company that makes
replacement bottles compatible with its pump available, without
advertising or promoting them in Code-noncompliant ways. I don't
think anyone has ever cogently argued that the existence of
breastmilk substitutes or milk collection/feeding devices is in and
of itself unethical or a violation; it is some (sometimes most?)
aspects of their marketing and promotion that becomes so.
