NEC Baby Formula
Did your baby needlessly suffer or tragically pass away from Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)?
Pre-term infants who have been fed cow milk-based formula, rather than breast milk, are at a heightened risk of developing NEC. NEC is a serious, often fatal, gastrointestinal disease that causes intestinal inflammation which may lead to intestinal tissue death.
Plaintiffs allege in these lawsuits that the makers of Similac and Enfamil knew but failed to warn doctors, hospitals, and NICU’s of these increased risks. Instead these companies pushed their profitable and core-product formulas on medical providers over the use of breast milk.
