Talk:Gerber Products Company

This consumer was contact repeatedly by Gerber and as a company they followed all regulations and guidelines that a company of their magnitude does. There is a reason they have been around for close to 80 years - because the safety and quality of the products have stood the test of time. A VOLUNTARY recall of all products was a great proactive approach as a parent and consumer in my opinion. Why Mr. Andree has a entire page devoted to his own personal "investigation" seems irrelvant to the general topic and extremely biased. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.181.102.85 (talk) 01:39:36, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

Baby Food recall

I'm not saying it isn't relevant or important (I just started giving my son this type of cereal), but a majority of this article seems to be a bout a food recall that takes away from the central focus of this article- I suggest it be moved to a different article and given a one-paragraph mention or See Also link. - Morgajel 17:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this article is in rough shape. "In letters to me and Fox 13 Gerber has admitted" is as good as a big fat sign reading "ORIGINAL RESEARCH". ---

This segment should be edited. Insead of this beautiful, moving story (sarcasm) this should only mention that there was an issue with lumps in the cereal and it was recalled. Also, it should be moved to the end of the article, as its not the main focus of this article. - Yet another reader without wikipedia username. august 13,2007

I am going to remove the recall section until someone can verify the information, source it, link it, and write it up in a coherent manner. TruthCrusader 17:35, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Binoculars

As I recall, Gerber is also a brand of binoculars and associated equipment. Anyone know more? Tannin 12:06, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)

baby

http://www.gerber.com/gerberbaby says that the young Anne Turner Cook was the actual model for the baby... can somebody check this?

I removed the africa label section from the article. This is an urban legend, as discussed here: http://www.snopes.com/business/market/babyfood.asp 66.102.74.248 03:18, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

theres some commercial airing about some '300 millionth american' thing theyre doing. i hope it has birth defects and they get embarassed.

Gerber baby

A picture of Gerber baby food would be nice.

Urban Legend

I think it is worth mentioning the urban legend (as described on snopes) in the article, as I (and probably others) came to this page to find out about it. On Q.I. this is presented as fact; Gyles Brandreth also claims that his great great grandfather Dr Banjamin Brandreth was a friend of the original Dr Gerber, and appears to support this urban legend.
