At A Glance

This Alert Affects:
Anyone whose premature baby developed necrotizing enterocolitis after being fed cow’s milk-based Similac or Enfamil baby formulas or fortifiers.
What’s Going On?
Lawsuits are being filed claiming that the makers of certain Similac and Enfamil infant formula products failed to warn healthcare providers and caregivers that ingesting cow’s milk-based formulas can cause premature babies to develop necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). NEC is a dangerous and potentially fatal gastrointestinal disease.
How Could a Lawsuit Help?
A lawsuit could help parents whose children developed the disease recover money for pain and suffering, loss of life’s enjoyment, the costs of medical care, funeral expenses and more.
