Manufacturers failed to reveal that premature infants (born BEFORE 37 weeks) fed cow’s milk–based formula fortifiers have a much greater chance of developing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)--and, those tiny victims and their families deserve justice.
Those families impacted may be eligible if their infants were:
- Born prematurely (before 37 weeks);
- Given Similac®, Enfamil®, or other similar cow’s milk-based formula fortifier in a hospital;
- Diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC); and,
- Experienced additional 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 Cow’s Milk-Based Formula Fortifer?
Studies determined that premature infants (before 37 weeks) fed with cow’s milk-based formula fortifier had a much greater chance of being diagnosed with Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)--while the chances of developing NEC were much less with breast milk.
In premature babies (born BEFORE 37 weeks) who have developed Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) cow’s milk-based formula fortifier, the infant’s intestines fail to hold waste properly–which means that bacteria may pass into the victim’s bloodstream and cause a number of life-threatening infections.
Also, waste may collect in the baby's abdomen and the injured intestine–or the infected sections of it–may die and need to be removed through a complicated surgical procedure.
Premature babies (born BEFORE 37 weeks) with Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) may exhibit the following symptoms or complications:
- Food staying in the stomach and not digesting
- Abnormal constipation
- Diarrhea and/or dark, bloody stools
- A low body temperature
- Trouble feeding
- A swollen, red, or tender stomach
- Green vomit that contains excess bile
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) caused by cow’s milk-based formula fortifier is diagnosed through an x-ray of the abdomen and confirmed by the appearance of bubbly or streaky gas in the intestines.
