About Infant Formula NEC Claims
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal condition primarily affecting premature infants, where intestinal tissue becomes inflamed and dies. Research has indicated that premature babies fed cow's milk-based formulas, such as Similac or Enfamil, may have a significantly higher risk of developing NEC compared to those fed with human breast milk. Lawsuits allege that manufacturers of these formulas, including Abbott Laboratories (Similac) and Mead Johnson (Enfamil), failed to properly warn parents and medical providers about the increased risk of NEC associated with their products when used in premature infants.
