Threat via You Tube Videos
NEW YORK – A man who claimed in YouTube videos that he had directed others to poison millions of containers of Gerber baby food with the intent to kill babies was arrested on Thursday, federal prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Gerber had not found any evidence that its product had been tampered with, and the man was charged with making threats and falsely claiming to have tampered with a consumer product.
In several videos, Dunn — wearing a black mask — said the baby food had been poisoned with cyanide, prosecutors said.
A spokesman for Gerber, which is owned by Switzerland-based Nestle, said in a statement the company stands behind the safety of its products.
Dunn, a Manhattan resident, faces charges of sending threats and falsely claiming to have tampered with a consumer product.
