Amy has described a marketing tactic whereby purchase of a baby item in a  
grocery store results in formula coupons being printed at check out. NABA  
picked up this practice during the Code monitoring we did in 2000-2001 and  
published it in "Selling Out Mothers and Babies." Register your complaint with  the 
manager of the grocery store and with customer service at the corporate  level. 
As always, send any materials that market formula in any way to NABA. If  the 
coupon contains false and misleading advertising that is deceptive enough to  
cause a mother to purchase the product, file a complaint with the Federal 
Trade  Commission at _www.ftc.gov_ (http://www.ftc.gov) .
