Today, a nurse at the hospital where I work gave me what looks like a press
release (though it's not on any official letterhead). It states that in a
lawsuit settled this fall, Gerber Food Corporation has been ordered to give
every child born between 1985 and 1997 a $500.00 US Savings Bond for
falsely advertising "ALL NATURAL" baby food products which were found to
contain preservatives. Is there any truth to this, media watchers?
What makes me think it is a scam is that the bonds may be obtained after
sending a copy of your child's (children's) birth certificate and Social
Security card to a PO Box. Just a little suspicious, though I'm sure it's
the only way to verify a child's birth and have the child's SSN on the
savings bond.
