Manufacturers failed to reveal that premature infants (born BEFORE 37 weeks) fed cow’s milk–based formulas can potentially develop necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)--and, those tiny victims deserve justice.
Those families impacted may be eligible if:
- They were born prematurely (before 37 weeks);
- They were given Similac® or Enfamil® in hospital;
- They were diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC); and,
- They experienced serious complications that may include surgeries to repair intestinal perforations, short bowel syndrome (SBS), brain damage, and more

How is Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) connected to baby formula?
Studies determined that Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants (before 37 weeks) increases with cow’s milk-based infant formula while decreasing with breast milk.
A US District Court heard a complaint in 2011 of serious allegations that Abbott Laboratories® and Mead Johnson & Company, LLC® are directly responsible for a child patient dying from Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC).
The baby was born prematurely (before 37 weeks) and passed after just 16 days because the manufacturer failed to properly warn the parents of the potential for developing Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC). Severe forms of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) lead to surgery in ~20-40% of all cases.(Source: US National Library of Medicine).
