Why People Are Filing
Studies have linked some infant formulas to a life-threatening condition called NEC. NEC stands for necrotizing enterocolitis. Cow's milk-based formulas may increase a preterm infant's risk of NEC. Cow's milk-based fortifiers have also been tied to NEC. Infants with NEC have experienced intestinal damage and perforation requiring surgery. It has even resulted in death. As a result, families are now taking legal action against baby formula manufacturers.
Associated Products

Frequently Asked Questions
The wrongful death lawsuit against Mead Johnson & Company and Abbott Laboratories for their baby formula has brought to light and highlighted the importance of food companies in the life of a baby. If the NEC risks of formula for preterm infants are unclear, or if a doctor fails to inform parents about the risks, there may be grounds to hold them accountable and seek justice.
Contact one of the experienced NEC Baby Formula law firms in our network by completing the short form above if your baby developed necrotizing enterocolitis after being fed Similac®, Enfamil® or another bovine formula by the hospital where your child was born and/or being treated. Bringing a suit for the failure to warn you and your family of the dangers can help ensure that your family is compensated properly for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. These cases aren’t predicated on fatal outcomes or long-term illness. Even if your child has fully recovered from NEC, you may still have legal options and a strong compensable case.
When will the Necrotizing Enterocolitis Lawsuits be resolved? The answer to this question is something that you can’t know for sure. But we do have some predictions about how long it may take before these lawsuits are settled or decided in court, which could lead towards an award payout depending on what happens with each individual case.
Our lawyers believe that Enfamil® and Similac® lawsuits are an increasing concern for manufacturers like Abbott/Mead Johnson who will be anxious about both risk of large verdicts driving up their own liability (and public relations damage) tied into these formerly well-known brands following negative publicity over issues such as necrotizing enterocolitis. This may lead these companies to enter into a settlement agreement sooner rather than later.
