Urban Legends
The concept of "urban legends" (a story that appears mysteriously and spreads spontaneously in various forms and is usually false posted on the Internet) and Internet scams are a real problem for some businesses. Gerber Baby Foods was flooded with 1 million letters and 80,000 phone calls from parents responding to an e-mail about a phony class-action lawsuit. Another urban legend about Costa Rican flesh-eating bacteria that affected banana shipments cost that industry more than $30 million. Procter & Gamble had to deal with claims that its Febreeze product contained Agent Orange, a dangerous chemical. Many companies choose to ignore these myths created by angry customers or rabble-rousers, but experts believe this is the worst possible action to take. Companies should instead do everything possible to reassure its customers.
