Baby Formula Lawsuits
NEC lawsuits have been initiated against two major baby formula manufacturers in the United States – Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson & Company. If your premature or preterm infant experienced necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after being fed Similac or Enfamil cow’s milk-based formulas, you may be entitled to pursue legal action by filing an NEC lawsuit.
Background.
What is NEC?
This rare intestinal condition occurs when the tissue in the small or large intestine becomes damaged or inflamed, leading to the death of intestinal tissue and, in certain instances, the formation of a hole in the intestinal wall. Most common in babies, indicators of NEC include: swollen or tender belly, discoloration of the belly, feeding difficulties, apnea, diarrhea, dark or bloody stools, lethargy or reduced activity, low or unstable body temperature or green vomit. Premature babies fed certain Similac and Enfamil formulas may be exposed to the increased potential risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis.
Not a New Issue
Higher risk cow milk formulas
Some of the research into the stronger connection between cow’s milk-based formulas, premature babies and necrotizing enterocolitis goes back decades. However, if your child was born prematurely, he or she may have been given such a product in the NICU, despite the correlation. Studies have shown that while cow’s milk-based preterm formulas provide consistent calories and are less expensive than human milk-based products, cow’s milk-based products significantly increase the risk of NEC in infants. If your premature or preterm infant experienced NEC after being fed Similac or Enfamil cow’s milk-based formulas, you may be entitled to compensation.

Navigating hair straightener claims can feel daunting, but you don’t have to face litigation alone. Here are the answers to commonly asked questions about filing a hair relaxer lawsuit.
You could be eligible to file a Baby Formula lawsuit if your child was born premature, has consumed cow milk-based baby formulas and developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
It’s too early to tell how much NEC cases will settle for. However, considerations will be given to your medical expenses, other expenses related to your child’s condition, loss of income (if you had to take time off to care for your child), pain and suffering, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Unfortunately there’s no way to know an exact timeline. Large corporations like Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson & Company retain lawyers who will try to delay the process as long as they can. That’s why we recommend you reach out today in order to get to the head of the line.
