[edit]History

William Procter, a candlemaker, andJames Gamble, a soapmaker, emmigrated from England and Ireland

respectively. They settled in Cincinnati initially and met when they married sisters, Olivia and Elizabeth

Norris.

[4]

Alexander Norris, their father-in-law, called a meeting in which he persuaded his new sons-in-law tobecome business partners. On October 31, 1837, as a result of the suggestion, Procter & Gamble was born.

In 18581859, sales reached $1 million. By this point, approximately 80 employees worked for Procter &

Gamble. During theAmerican Civil War, the company won contracts to supply theUnion Armywith soap

andcandles. In addition to the increased profits experienced during the war, the military contracts introduced

soldiers from all over the country to Procter & Gamble's products.

In the 1880s, Procter & Gamble began to market a new product, an inexpensive soap that floats in water. The

company called the soapIvory. William Arnett Procter, William Procter's grandson, began aprofit-

sharingprogram for the company'sworkforcein 1887. By giving the workers a stake in the company, he

correctly assumed that they would be less likely to go onstrike.

The company began to build factories in other locations in the United States because the demand for products

had outgrown the capacity of the Cincinnati facilities. The company's leaders began to diversify its products as

well and, in 1911, began producingCrisco, ashorteningmade ofvegetable oilsrather thananimal fats. As

radio became more popular in the 1920s and 1930s, the company sponsored a number of radio programs. As

a result, these shows often became commonly known as "soap operas".

The company moved into other countries, both in terms of manufacturing and product sales, becoming an

international corporation with its 1930 acquisition of theThomas Hedley Co., based inNewcastle upon Tyne,

England. Procter & Gamble maintained a strong link to the North East of England after this acquisition.

Numerous new products and brand names were introduced over time, and Procter & Gamble began branching

out into new areas. The company introduced "Tide" laundrydetergentin 1946 and "Prell" shampoo in 1947. In

1955, Procter & Gamble began selling the first toothpaste to containfluoride, known as "Crest". Branching out

once again in 1957, the company purchasedCharminPaper Mills and began manufacturing toilet paper and

other paper products. Once again focusing on laundry, Procter & Gamble began making "Downy"fabric

softenerin 1960 and "Bounce" fabric softener sheets in 1972. One of the most revolutionary products to come

out on the market was the company's "Pampers", first test-marketed in 1961. Prior to this pointdisposable

diaperswere not popular, althoughJohnson & Johnsonhad developed a product called "Chux". Babies always

wore cloth diapers, which were leaky and labor intensive to wash. Pampers provided a convenient alternative,

albeit at the environmental cost of more waste requiring landfilling.

Procter & Gamble acquired a number of other companies that diversified its product line and significantly

increased profits. These acquisitions includedFolgers Coffee, Norwich Eaton Pharmaceuticals (the makers

ofPepto-Bismol), Richardson-Vicks, Noxell (Noxzema), Shulton'sOld Spice,Max Factor, and

theIamsCompany, among others. In 1994, the company made headlines for big losses resulting from

leveraged positions ininterest rate derivatives, and subsequently suedBankers Trustfor fraud; this placed their

management in the unusual position of testifying in court that they had entered into transactions that they were

not capable of understanding. In 1996, Procter & Gamble again made headlines when theFood and Drug

Administrationapproved a new product developed by the company,Olestra. Also known by its brand

name Olean, Olestra is a lower-calorie substitute for fat in cookingpotato chipsand other snacks that during its

development stages is known to have caused anal leakage and gastrointestinal difficulties in humans.

Procter & Gamble has dramatically expanded throughout its history, but its headquarters still remains in

Cincinnati.

In January 2005 P&G announced an acquisition ofGillette, forming the largest consumer goods company and

placingUnileverinto second place. This added brands such as Gillette razors,Duracell,Braun, andOral-Bto

their stable. The acquisition was approved by theEuropean Unionand theFederal Trade Commission, with

conditions to a spinoff of certain overlapping brands. P&G agreed to sell its SpinBrush battery-operatedelectrictoothbrushbusiness toChurch & Dwight. It also divested Gillette's oral-care toothpaste line, Rembrandt.

ThedeodorantbrandsRight Guard,Soft & Dri, and Dry Idea were sold toDial Corporation.[5]The companies

officially merged on October 1, 2005.Liquid Paper, and Gillette's stationery division,Paper Matewere sold

toNewell Rubbermaid. In 2008, P&G branched into the record business with its sponsorship ofTag Records,

[edit]Productions

The P&G production logo used from early 1985 to 2007.

Procter & Gamble produced and sponsored the first radio soap operas in the 1930s (Procter & Gamble's being

known for detergents - soaps - was probably the genesis of the term "soap opera")[citation needed]. When the

medium switched to television in the 1950s and 1960s, most of the new serials were sponsored and produced

by the company. The serialThe Young and the Restlessis currently broadcast on CBS and is still partially

sponsored by Procter & Gamble. WhenAs the World Turnsleft the air on September 17, 2010,The Young and

the Restless, became the only soap left that is partially sponsored by Procter & Gamble.

These past serials were produced by Procter & Gamble:

Another World

As the World Turns

The Brighter Day

The Catlins

The Edge of Night

The First Hundred Years

From These Roots

Guiding Light

Lovers and Friends/For Richer, for Poorer

Our Private World

Search for Tomorrow

Somerset

Texas

Young Doctor Malone

Procter & Gamble also was the first company to produce and sponsor a prime-time show, a 1965 spinoff of the

daytime soap opera As the World TurnscalledOur Private World. PGP also producedShirley, a prime-

timeNBCseries starringShirley Jones, in 1979; it lasted thirteen episodes. They also producedTBS' first

original comedy series,Down to Earth, which ran from 1984 to 1987 (110 episodes were produced). They also

distributed the syndicated comedy seriesThrob. Procter & Gamble Productions originally co-

producedDawson's CreekwithSony Pictures Televisionbut withdrew before the series premiere due to early

press reviews. It also produced the 1991 TV movie A Triumph of the Heart: The Ricky Bell Story, which was co-

produced byThe Landsburg Company. It also produces thePeople's Choice Awards.

In addition to self-produced items, Procter & Gamble also supports many Spanish-language novellas through

advertising on networks such asUnivision,Telemundo,Telefutura, andAzteca America. Procter & Gamble was

one of the first mainstream advertisers on Spanish-language TV during the mid-1980s.[citation needed]

In 2008, P&G expanded into music sponsorship when it joined Island Def Jam to create Tag Records, named

after a body spray that P&G acquired from Gillette. In April 2010, after the cancellation ofAs the World Turns,

PGP announced they were officially phasing out of the soap industry, and expanding into more family

appropriate programming.[20][21]

Procter & Gamble (P&G) also gave a $100,000 contract to the winners of Cycle 1 through 3 ofCanada's Next

Top Model, makingAndrea Muizelaar,Rebecca HardyandMeaghan Wallerwon the prize.

[edit]Controversies

[edit]Price fixing

In April 2011, P&G was fined 211.2m euros by theEuropean Commissionfor establishing a price fixingcartelin

Europe along withUnilever, who was fined 104m euros, andHenkel. Though the fine was set higher at first, it

was discounted by 10% after P&G and Unilever admitted running the cartel. As the provider of the tip-off

leading to investigations, Henkel was not fined.[22]

[edit]Toxic shock syndrome and tampons

Toxic shock syndrome(TSS) is a disease caused by strains of the bacteriaStaphylococcus aureus. Most

people have these bacteria living in their bodies as harmlesscommensalsin places such as the nose, skin, and

vagina. The disease can strike anyone, not only women, but the disease is often associated withtampons. In

1980, 814 menstrual-related TSS cases were reported; 38 deaths resulted from the disease. The majority of

women in these cases were documented as using super-absorbent synthetic tampons, particularly

theRelytampon created by Procter & Gamble.[23]The Rely tampon was so super-absorbent that one by itself

could in fact hold one woman's entire menstrual period flow. Unlike other tampons made of cotton and rayon,

Rely used carboxymethylcellulose and compressed beads ofpolyesterfor absorption. The materials used in

Rely were causing an increase in the thickness of fluid inside the vagina, resulting in more toxins being

released.

The slogan used by Procter & Gamble for the product was "Rely. It even absorbs the worry."

In the summer of 1980 theCenters for Disease Controlreleased a report explaining how these bacterial

mechanisms were leading to TSS. They also stated that the Rely tampon was associated with TSS more than

any other brand of tampon. In September 1980, Procter & Gamble voluntarily recalled its Rely brand of

[edit]Animal testing

On June 30, 1999 Procter & Gamble announced that it would limit its animal testing practices to its food and

drug products which represents roughly 80% of its product portfolio.[25]The company invested more than $275

million in the development of alternative testing methods.[26]

Procter & Gamble has received criticism from animal advocacy groupPETAfor the practice oftesting on

animals.[27]

[edit]Other products

In December 2005 the Pharmaceutical division of P&G was involved in a dispute over research involving its

osteoporosis drugActonel. The case was discussed in the media.[28]

In October 2007, a class action lawsuit was filed in the State of Georgia alleging that many users of Crest Pro-

Health mouthwash, with the active ingredientCetylpyridinium chloride, suffered stained teeth and loss of their

sense of taste as a result.[29]Procter & Gamble contends that these side effects occur in only three percent of

users.[29]The suit seeks to include disclosure warning users of these side effects on product packaging.

[edit]Logo controversy

P&G's former logo originated in 1851 as a crude cross that barge workers on the Ohio River painted on cases

of P&G star candles to identify them. P&G later changed this symbol into a trademark that showed a man in the

moon overlooking 13 stars, said to commemorate the original13 colonies.[30]

Former P&G logo

The company received unwanted media publicity in the 1980s when rumors spread that the moon-and-stars

logo was asatanicsymbol. The accusation was based on a particular passage in the Bible,

specificallyRevelation12:1, which states: "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven;a womanclothed

with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of 12 stars." P&G's logo consisted of a

man's face on the moon surrounded by 13 stars, and some claimed that the logo was a mockery of the

heavenly symbol alluded to in the aforementioned verse, thus construing the logo to be satanic. Where the

flowing beard meets the surrounding circle, three curls were said to be a mirror image of the number666, or

the reflectednumber of the beast. At the top and bottom, the hair curls in on itself, and was said to be the two

horns like those of a ram that represented thefalse prophet.

These interpretations have been denied by company officials, and no evidence linking the company to

theChurch of Satanor any other occult organization has ever been presented. The company unsuccessfully

suedAmwayfrom 1995 to 2003 over rumors forwarded through a company voicemail system in 1995. In 2007

the company successfully sued individualAmwaydistributors for reviving and propagating the false rumors.[31]

The moon-and-stars logo was discontinued in 1985 as a result of the controversy.[32]
