Similac & Enfamil Linked to Increased Risk of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) in Preterm Infants
Shamis & Gentile, P.A. is dedicated to holding Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson accountable for failing to disclose the risks associated with cow’s milk-based infant formulas, which have been linked to Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants.
Fighting for Families Affected by NEC
Scientific research has long established that preterm infants who consume cow’s milk-based formulas face a significantly higher risk of developing NEC compared to those fed human breast milk. Despite this knowledge, the manufacturers of Similac and Enfamil have failed to properly warn parents and healthcare providers about these dangers.
If your premature baby (born before 37 weeks) was diagnosed with NEC after consuming one of the following formulas, you may be entitled to legal action:
- Enfamil Formula
- Similac Formula
- Similac Human Milk Fortifier
Complications Associated with NEC
Necrotizing Enterocolitis is a serious and potentially fatal condition that can lead to devastating health issues, including:
- Intestinal perforation (holes in the intestines)
- Scarring or strictures in the intestines
- Sepsis (life-threatening infection)
- Cerebral palsy
- Neurological damage
- Surgery
- Death
