- When Raymond Dunn Jr. was born 15 years ago, he had an
- undersize brain, was severely retarded and was allergic to all
- foods except one -- Gerber Meat-Based Formula. Designed for
- babies who could not tolerate foods based on cows' milk, the
- product was canceled in 1985, when soybean formulas displaced
- it. That threatened disaster for Raymond, who still could not
- eat anything else. His mother Carol Dunn of Yankee Lake, N.Y.,
- made an appeal to Gerber.
-
- Since then, the company has been in constant contact with
- Dunn, giving her its remaining stock and notifying her of new
- formulas that her handicapped son, who weighs only 31 lbs.,
- might tolerate. Last week 20 members of Gerber's research and
- development teams volunteered to produce batches of the formula
- for Raymond free of charge. Says Gerber spokesman Jim Lovejoy:
- "Our purpose has always been helping parents with their
- children."
