FAQs

Are Lawsuits Being Filed Against Baby Formula Manufacturers?

For the time being, parents have filed multiple lawsuits after their infant children developed necrotizing enterocolitis after the consumption of Similac or Enfamil baby formula.

What Is NEC Necrotizing Enterocolitis?

Necrotizing enterocolitis primarily occurs in premature infants and causes inflammation in the intestinal lining, resulting in serious infections that may lead to fatality. In these cases, the inflamed intestinal wall eventually erodes, allowing bacteria to enter the intestinal tract and threaten the infant’s health. The healthcare professional in charge of your infant’s care must keep an eye on the symptoms mentioned below:

• Swollen, red, or tender stomach
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pressure
• Temperature fluctuations
• Low blood pressure
• Fast breathing

Few infants can survive the disease, but serious, long-term injuries stay with them for life. In extreme cases, the chances of infant death are high.

Which Baby Formula Products Lead to NEC?

According to scientific studies, both Similac and Enfamil products have been proven to link to NEC in premature babies.
