Perhaps this case might be a precedent for mothers who receive
unsolicited free cases of formula?

Florida woman sues after getting free box of Prozac

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Florida woman has filed suit because a pharmacy
chain sent her a free box of Prozac - a drug she had never used.  She
also hadn't asked her doctor to switch her from another anti-depressant
to Prozac.

The Broward County woman, identified in court documents only as S.K.,
sued her doctors, the drugstore chain Walgreens and Prozac maker Eli
Lilly and Co., charging invasion of privacy and improper medical
practice.

It's not clear how many other patients received unsolicited Prozac - the
woman's attorneys say they know of two more so far - or if the apparent
campaign to sign up new Prozac users extended beyond South Florida.

Lilly issued a statement late yesterday.

"To the extent Lilly personnel may have participated in this program,
Lilly apologizes," said spokeswoman Debbie Davies.  "We are
investigating this matter vigorously and if company policies were
violated, Lilly will take appropriate action."
