Re: The Baby-Formula Crime Ring (2018)
#2I remember baby formula from Amazon arriving with the tamper seal opened. I immediately realized what happened. Someone purchased baby formula, used it, filled it with powder, sold it at the Amazon market place, and then Amazon shipped it to me (Amazon thought the tampered product was indistinguishable from its factory purchased products). I stopped ordering anything food related from Amazon.
Pay attention to the tamper seal. That's all I could do. I bought all my formula direct at the grocery store after my Amazon experience

This comment is wholly ignorant of the many good reasons one might have for feeding formula to a baby.

#5Genuine question: Is living in America as horrible as it sounds for the average, non-rich citizen?
Impression I get from the media:
* Education sets you in semi-if-not-permanent debt.
* Housing is impossibly expensive.
* Single hospital visit can be thousand of dollars.
* Critical medication is hundreds of dollars a month (or more).
* Unpaid, (effectively) mandatory overtime.
* Many people work several jobs (as adults).
* No paid vacation.
* No paid maternal leave.
* No paid paternal leave.
* Paternal leave is taboo/strange.
* Maternal leave is weeks/month or two.

The same fraud could happen with other foods.

That's terrifying! You would think such an issue would be worthy of a major investigation, what would happen if a baby lived on that powder for weeks?

No the lesson is don’t order food products from Amazon! Order them from Target which has a far more controlled supply chain.

Well you definitely have the wrong idea. About 20% of Americans do live in extreme economic precarity. But things are not out of a horror movie. That’s in fact why there hasn’t been a violent revolution, things aren’t bad enough here (yet?).
