The methods used by recognized brands to make the company available to their products can end the credibility of many companies that they know and trust. To be confident that you are aware of what we consume, we have selected a number of firms that have appeared in the media, but not for their excellent work. It is unbelievable that some of them have survived even after the dissemination of such information. Take a look below.
1. Coca-Cola.
A reporter named Michael Blanding discovered the truth about Coca-Cola in India. Apparently, there was much debate between the local community and its filling plants to drink water. It came to light that many bottles were contaminated with pesticides. The city's water reserves began to dry up after the Coca-Cola factories opened in those locations.
2. Nestle
In 1947, Mike Muller published a report titled "The baby killer" for a number of infant deaths caused by Nestlé's powdered milk. International Baby Action Network claimed that this formula affected breast milk and when mothers left the hospital they could not breast feed. What worsened the situation was also the high prices.
3. Bayer
Bayer, the famous famaceutical company in the 1980s, contributed to the development of medicines for the treatment of blood clotting in hemophiliacs. Many were made from plasma donated by groups that had not been tested for HIV. As a result, about 8,000 people were infected with immune immunodeficiency syndrome. Despite the scandal, they continued to sell to Hong Kong, Taiwan and many other countries by winning millions. He had to pay about 660 million to resolve cases involving 6,000 people with HIV.
4. Walmart.
In 2012, 111 Walmart employees were killed in a fire in Bangladesh, where most were minors. Consequently, Walmart paid a number of employees to keep this secret event. If not enough, in 2014 the daily "The Guardian" reported that in Thailand the slaves were forced to work for years under extreme threats. According to an investigation, there were a considerable number of people bought and sold and held against their will in fishing with 20-hour tours.
5. Dupont
Entrepreneurship of industrial chemical products with 900 teflon in 1950, the next year bought perfluoroothanic acid to improve the process and to increase the benefits. However, the substances placed in the environment caused a serious condition affecting 98 percent of the US population, bringing a significant number of diseases to cancer. The Enironmental Protection Agency imposed a Dupont fine of $ 16.5 million for concealment of information on the effects of health affecting workers' children. In 2015 he lost another battle in court for a woman with kidney cancer due to acid use.
6. Children's wishes network
In 1997 Mark Breiner, Shelley Breiner and Barbara Askin founded "Kids Wish Network" in honor of Shelley's father who died of cancer. It was founded to raise funds and help children's dreams become a reality. However, the Research Report Center defined it as the worst network of charities in the US because only 3.5 million out of the 141 collected were actually used to keep the promise. While raising funds as an NGO, they often financed for politicians and to raise the salaries of founders in astronomical figures.
7. Exxon Mobil
A multi-millionaire oil and gas company headquartered in Aceh, Indonesia, found itself in the midst of a conflict between the domestic desire for independence and the military government. In 1998 they were accused of supplying tools like digging machines for mass graves and military equipment to protect themselves from local activists. Civilians accused Exxon Mobil of paying 6 million armed forces for torture and extrajudicial executions.
