Yes

Fundamentally, Nestle hires "nurses" to persuade third world mothers that their baby compound is better than the mothers' breast milk. The mothers then spend more than they can afford buying said product. They then mix it with dirty water and babies die.

WHO has produced guidelines (i.e. don't do this) but Nestle has consistently (except for a period of about 18 months in the 1990s) refused to follow the guidelines.
