BABY FORMULA LAWSUIT

There is current litigation against the makers of Enfamil and Similac due to the failure to issue specific warnings about the risks of Necrotizing Enterocolitis. Products from these manufacturers were fed to preterm infants who subsequently developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a disease that causes the inflammation of the intestines that can lead to rupture or death.
