All of the suggestions I've read so far about where the formula companies got someone's name have been if the woman signed up for something (car seat registration, birth registry etc.) AFTER the baby was born. However, I know of a person who was pregnant for eight weeks, began bleeding, went to her doctor, who referred her to a hospital for an ultrasound. At the point she left the hospital, there was a heartbeat on the ultrasound, etc. so she was still considered pregnant. However, she miscarried two days later. A few months later she began getting literature from a formula company. Closer to her due date (which they had and stated it in a "congratulations" letter) they began sending formula. The only places/people who knew she was pregnant were her doctors office, the hospital ultrasound clinic and her insurance company. She hadn't told anyone and hadn't signed up for anything. Getting formula in the mail was not only disturbing since she's an avid breastfeeder but it brought up more grief reactions to the miscarriage. This seems to clearly be a breech of confidentiality of her medical records. Does anyone know how she might prosecute with limited funds?
