evidence: Hi moms! Due to the shortage of formula if you call enfamil or similac they will notify the state you can’t find any for your child and the state will send you a 6 pack of 12 Oz cans to your address ! For free!! hopefully the state has some to help out ! The shortage has gotten worse but it doesn’t hurt to call and ask! I hope this helps. [...] However, there was no truth to this rumor. People cannot obtain free formula from their state governments by calling the customer service lines of Enfamil and Similac. [...] The rumor about calling customer service lines for Enfamil and Similac was not the only piece of purported advice that social media users shared during the 2022 baby formula shortage. A similar rumor claimed that American parents could obtain baby formula by simply switching their location settings on Amazon to Canada. This "life hack," however, didn't work.
