Hi Liz,

Thank you for your extensive answer.
Of course, being the faithful Lactnet-reader that I am, I followed this thread.
I remember, though, that you explained in Vienna about the 'smell test' and the importance of whether the way we practice as lc's can pass it.
I wonder how the content of this Lansinoh-ad can have passed the JHL editorial board's personal smell test.
Regardless of the Code, as important as it is, I can imagine JHL only allowing ads that can pass the smell test.
How do you feel about that part of the issue? ;-)

Warmly,

Marianne

  This topic was addressed a month or two ago, ad nauseum, right here on Lactnet -- so a search of the Archives will pull up lots of stuff, but here is the cut-to-the-chase  summary of Lansinoh being advertised in JHL:

  Lansinoh is a company which produces products that do *not* fall under the WHO Code, but whose majority stock holdings were purchased a handful of years ago by Pigeon, whose major market is in Japan and whose marketing practices of Code-covered products are famously non-Code-compliant.  The corporate structure and governance at Lansinoh remains "firewalled" -- the same guys that ran that shop when it was bought are still running the shop.
