Amazon UK are breaking the law promoting infant formula

Please help by reporting them, and by asking them to take the formula off.

I spend a lot of money at Amazon and I really cannot be boycotting them, especially this near Xmas :-)

The advert is for Hipp Organic 1 from Birth Onwards – it is being sold at a discounted rate which is illegal in the UK.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003Y6OOZE/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

If you look at the seller they have lots of code breaking items:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=grocery&field-keywords=HiPP%20Organic

You can report it online here

The Baby Feeding Law Group suggest contacting local Trading Standards Offices as well as completing the BFLG form. In England, Scotland and Wales call 08454 04 05 06 or visit Consumer Direct.

I used this contact form on Consumer Direct – https://ssl.datamotion.com/form.aspx?co=583&frm=complainform&ri=SW&to=enquiries

And I said this:

“Hipp Organic are illegally discounting infant formula on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003Y6OOZE/

This contravenes the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes which say that infant formula must not be sold at a discounted price.
Please could you get it removed.
Many thanks
Lisa”

I left a review on Amazon saying it is a law breaker but the reviews get moderated so I doubt that will show up ever :-)

These adverts are generated by Google - now and then a sneeky formula one gets in but I can block them so please email me at moomum@lactivist.co.uk if you see one.
