Baby Formula causing NEC in Premature Infants Lawsuits

NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Across the country, dozens of families have filed Similac and Enfamil baby formula lawsuits, seeking compensation for the trauma that their family has suffered due to necrotizing enterocolitis diagnosis. Selinger Law Group is helping hundreds of families file for compensation.

Why Are Parents Filing Baby Formula Lawsuits?

The plaintiffs involved in the recently filed baby formula lawsuits believe that companies like Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson Nutrition have long been aware of the increased risk of premature infants developing Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) when fed a cow's milk based formula. Despite having this knowledge, the companies have failed to place warning labels on the formula and as a result, thousands of infants and their families have suffered.

Premature infants can develop NEC when harmful bacteria ruptures the walls of the intestines. These sections of the intestine often become inflamed and if left untreated these inflamed sections often die. As the tissues die there is a high risk that the bacteria will leak into the abdomen and / or infiltrate the bloodstream.

NEC often has a progressive timeline. The beginning stages of mild feeding problems to systemic sepsis infection is often short.

Allegations raised against Enfamil and Similac specify:

• Cow's milk-based formulas greatly increases the risk for premature infants to develop NEC
• The warning labels on the formula are egregiously broad and thus fail to reasonably disclose the risks of NEC, the potential surgery outcomes, nor the death of preemies.
• These companies have lobbied and campaigned with billions of dollars to target marketing towards mothers to discourage breastfeeding.
