Found out?  Ah, Everett, you need an epistemological tune-up.  I
thought this had the earmarks of an urban legend, so I did some
tedious, in-depth research by typing www.gerber.com into my browser's
address window.  What does it say in big print? "Misinformation About
Baby Food Settlement."

http://www.gerber.com/story/newshome.html

It's a pretty cool website, BTW.

Also, though it's arduous and time consuming, typing the phrase
"gerber lawsuit" into a search engine form yields interesting hits
with the words "scam", "urban legend", "chain letter", and "ripoff"
in their titles.

Would that others had the time, dedication, and perseverance to
research rumors in such depth before crossposting them to
everyone@internet.net....
