Worst Products In The World
 
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/ar...the-world.aspx





Coca-Cola, for marketing its bottled tap water (Dasani) as something that is vastly superior to the water out of your tap




Kellogg’s, for marketing sugary, salty, junk food to children, with the message that these foods can give you amazing physical attributes




Mattel, for stonewalling US congressional investigations and avoiding responsibility for the global recall of 21 million toys tainted with lead; one containing more than 200 times the permitted amount of lead

But the “grand prize” this year went to Takeda Pharmaceuticals, for advertising sleeping pills to children. By using “reminder ads” (a slick loophole that allows companies to advertise without mentioning side effects), they were able to advertise their sleeping aid Rozerem, using images of children, classroom settings, and school buses, and using the reference of “Back to school” – all without ever having to mention ANY of the many side effects of this drug, or the fact that the safety of Rozerem for pediatric or adolescent use has never been established
