Children’s vitamin preparations: kidding the kids and their parents
1989 Aug; 4:(8):109-110


Abstract:

Companies are now advertising their products through children. One child brought home a letter about a multivitamin product. Although the letter was signed by a doctor it was clearly prepared by the drug company Byk Gulden. An ad for another multivitamin preparation from Rhone-Poulenc misquoted an article that had been published in the Lancet.
