Maureen  you said
 LLLCanada never endorsed lansinoh - in fact they  have a disclosure 
statement printed and inserted into LLL resources  printed in the US and 
distributed in Canada.

you might be  interested to hear that LLLGB have never endorsed it either 
and we  do have a statement which goes in  US  resources which we use

Even before they were taken over by Pigeon their marketing tactics  were  of 
concern.  I remember one day being at a meeting at our local hospital  and 
lansinoh came up.  I explained that  no, we didn't endorse it, it was only 
LLLI endorsed it. These were women I'd known for a long time  and they 
accepted this; half way through the meeting though a midwife came in who had 
recently   spoken to the lansinoh rep, who had given her copies of the  LLLI 
leaflet with a sample on.  I had come across as someone had  brought me one 
over from the US, it so recognised it.  Obviously vs. embarrassing for me, 
having  assured  them that   we endorsed no product ,  that our literature 
did speak about moist wound healing but  mentioned no product by name ;  we 
did complain too lansinoh who  said it was just a one off mistake...that 
their rep just happened to have an  American leaflet without any disclaimer 
at  just one hospital, and it wouldn't happen again .
