What you're describing is part of a much wider problem with freebies in 
general and the conflict of interest they create, usually showing up 
with pharmaceutical companies, but, as you point out, just as much an 
issue when it happens with formula companies.  The advocacy organisation 
to counter the drug rep freebies is called 'No Free Lunch', so I would 
start by checking out their website to see what literature they have on 
the general issue.  I know the British Medical Journal had an issue 
about it a while back, though can't remember when - however, you could 
find it on their site (bmj.com) easily enough.
