What's the worst product you can think of? How about . . . sleeping pills targeting children? A watchdog called Consumers International just came out its list of the worst behavior by corporations. They put Takeda Pharmaceuticals at the top. Takeda makes a sleeping pill called Rozerum. The company advertised the drug by reminding people it was back to school season.
Mattel also made the list for making toys with too much lead in them. And Coca-Cola also got slammed for the way it markets Dansani bottled water. It comes from the same reservoirs as tap water.
