Premature Infants (Born BEFORE 37 Weeks) Diagnosed With Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) After Receiving Similac® And Their Families May Be Entitled To Financial Compensation Starting With A FREE Case Examination
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 the 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

The Following Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) Statistics Demonstrate the Dangers of the Condition
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a gastrointestinal disease that affects premature infants (born BEFORE 37 weeks) who are fed cow’s milk–based formulas such as Similac® or Enfamil®.
NEC involves infection and inflammation that causes damage and the death of cells in some or all of the intestine leading to surgeries to repair intestinal perforations, short bowel syndrome (SBS), brain damage, and more.
The Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh reveals that necrotizing enterocolitis affects one in 2,000 to 4,000 births, and is the most common gastrointestinal (GI) emergency in U.S. neonatal intensive care units.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health, the following statistics surrounding NEC confirm the serious nature of the condition:
- All newborn infants born preterm (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) or born with a low birth weight (less than 5.5 pounds) are at increased risk for NEC–plus, the more premature the delivery, the greater the risk
- Estimates reveal that NEC affects about 9,000 out of the 480,000 infants born preterm each year nationwide.
- The percentage of very low birth weight infants who develop NEC remains steady at about 7%.
- NEC continues to be one of the leading causes of illness and death among preterm (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) infants.
- 15-40% of preterm (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) infants with NEC die from the disease.
