Mass Torts | Toxic Baby Formula

As of now, multiple lawsuits have been filed by parents after their children developed necrotizing enterocolitis after using either Similac or Enfamil baby formula.

Necrotizing enterocolitis is a digestive disease that occurs primarily in premature infants and can cause inflammation of the intestinal lining, which can lead to serious infections. In such cases, the inflamed intestinal wall is eventually eroded away, which allows bacteria to enter the intestinal tract and jeopardize the health of the infant. The medical professional in charge of your infant’s care should monitor for the following symptoms:

• Swollen, red, or tender stomach
• Abdominal pressure
• Diarrhea
• Fluctuations in temperature
• Abnormal breathing
• Low blood pressure

Most infants survive the disease, many with serious long term injuries, but in more extreme cases infants may pass away.

According to the scientific study, both Similac and Enfamil products have been linked to NEC in premature babies.

Cronobacter is a germ that is often found in very dry places. It has been found in dry foods such as powdered infant formula. This germ can cause Meningitis in some babies resulting in serious injury or death.
