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. Cow’s milk-based formulas from these manufacturers were fed to preterm infants who subsequently developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a disease that causes inflammation of the intestines that can lead to severe injury or death.

FAQ’s:

Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal disease that primarily affects premature and medically fragile infants. The disease occurs when tissue in the small or large intestine is injured or inflamed. This can lead to the death of intestinal tissue and, in some cases, a hole (perforation) in the intestinal wall.

In NEC, the intestine can no longer hold waste, which can lead to bacteria passing into the bloodstream and causing a life-threatening infection. Waste may pass into the baby’s abdomen and make the baby very sick. The injured intestine, or sections of it, may die and need to be removed.

Necrotizing enterocolitis occurs mostly in premature infants (newborns with birth weights of less than 4.5 pounds make up about 80 percent of necrotizing enterocolitis cases), but full-term babies have also been diagnosed.
