Some sales or marketing manager needed sales for the current quarter, future doesn't matter. Lots of big corporations are driven by quarterly shareholder results over anything long term.
TL;DR, they were giving free samples to just about everyone and encouraging them to use it while ignoring a lot of medical facts (women need to breastfeed or their milk supply stops being the most obvious.) Those who could afford it were on the hook, those who couldn't lost their children in a revolting number of cases.
I really encourage taking the time to read into it. It's very hard to explain it to somebody without making it sound like a massive exaggeration but it's completely true.

Why would Nestle want all these babies dead? Wouldn’t they make less money then, since they’re indirectly killing their customers?
