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.
