If Your Preemie was Fed Formula and Developed NEC, You May be Able to Take Legal Action.

Was your baby born premature (less than 37 weeks)?

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) nearly always affects preterm, very low birthweight infants and has been linked to the ingestion of Similac®, Enfamil® and other formulas made with cow’s milk.

Was your baby fed formula in the hospital?

When the intestine becomes clogged with formula, acid inflames intestinal tissue and kills (necrotizes) the tissue. The acid can also burn holes (perforate) through baby’s intestinal lining, causing infection when bacteria spills into the baby’s belly and bloodstream. Because infants’ immune systems are not well developed, it is hard for them to fight this infection. NEC attacks suddenly and acutely, usually within two to six weeks.

Did the doctor ever tell you your baby had NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis)?

Parents Were Not Warned About the Risks!

It wasn’t your fault. You did the best for your baby. Manufacturers pushed formula for use in NICUs when safer options were available.

Why Take Legal Action Now?

In the 60 years since the launch of these formulas, none of the labels ever informed parents or doctors of the risks.Thousands of infants are born premature or with very low birth weight in the United States each year, and many of them will ingest/have ingested these formulas before developing NEC. Thousands more parents will be left railing for answers as a result. The math is tragic. By speaking up and joining other parents in legal action you will help create the change needed to stop this tragedy.
