πŸ“‹ About This Lawsuit

Premature infants fed cow's milk-based formulas like Similac (Abbott) or Enfamil (Mead Johnson) face a significantly elevated risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) β€” a devastating intestinal disease that can be fatal or cause lifelong disability.

Hundreds of lawsuits allege the manufacturers knew about this risk but failed to adequately warn parents and medical providers. Multibillion-dollar verdicts have already been returned, and thousands of cases are still pending.
