FAQs: Toxic Infant Formula Lawyer Timothy L. Miles
Premature babies often need extra nutrition to support their undeveloped bodies and offset their initial low birth weight. Many doctors will recommend using cow milk-based infant formula to the parents, but recent evidence suggests that some brands of bovine infant formula can cause infants to develop necrotizing enterocolitis, a potentially deadly digestive condition. To make matters worse, some of the manufacturers cow milk-based infant formula, Abbott Laboratories, and Mead Johnson & Company, never added a warning label on their cow milk-based infant formula products that contained cow milk, causing more unsuspecting parents to put their children at risk.
Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson & Company, both who sell cow milk based infant formula products, have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their products prior to sale. As a result of their negligence, and failure to warn about their unsafe infant formula products, families all over have had to deal with losing their children to what they thought was a safe product.

What Is Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)?
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a digestive disease that occurs primarily in premature infants and can cause inflammation of the intestinal lining, which can eventually 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 with serious, long-term injuries, but in more severe cases infants may lose their life. No one should have to fear for the safety of their child because of an unsafe toxic infant formula product, and together, we can hold them accountability.
What Baby Formula Products Can Cause NEC?
According to the scientific study, Similac and Enfamil cow milk-based infant formulas have been linked to digestive disease.
Which Manufacturers Have Families and their Toxic Baby Formula Lawyer Sued?
Abbott Laboratories, the maker of Similac milk-based infant formulas, and Mead Johnson and Company, the company behind Enfamil's bovine based infant formulas, are currently being sued by parents whose children developed health issues after ingesting their toxic infant formula products. A recent scientific study discovered a link between their cow milk-based infant formula and dangerous digestive disease, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). This disease is potentially life-threatening for prematurely born children, and even minor cases can result in long-term damage that may cause digestive problems in the future. To make matters worse, the manufacturers failed to list the risks associated with their cow based infant formula which has prompted parents to retain a toxic baby formula lawyer to file lawsuits to stop their unethical behavior.
Can Toxic Baby Formula Cause NEC?
While not all infant formula products carry a risk of digestive disease, some cow milk-based infant formulas made by Enfamil and Similac do pose a risk to a child’s health. If you have any of the following baby formula products in your home, you should dispose of them and find a safer alternative for your child:
Similac Special Care 20
Similac NeoSure
Similac Special Care 24
Similac Special Care 30
Similac Special Care 24 - High Protein
Similac Liquid Protein Fortifier
Enfamil Human Milk Fortifier
Enfamil NeuroPro EnfaCare
Enfamil 24 Cal
Who Is at Risk for NEC?
NEC primarily affects prematurely born infants, children born under 3.25 pounds, and newborns who are fed formula in their early life. The condition only occurs in every 2,000-3,000 births, but it is especially dangerous to infants, as their immune systems have not developed enough to fight off harmful bacteria.
Do I Qualify for the Toxic Infant Formula Lawsuits?
If your newborn child was fed toxic baby formula in the hospital, or the hospital gave you an unsafe infant formula products to take home, and your child was diagnosed with digestive health issues, you could be eligible to join the toxic infant formula lawsuits. However, your eligibility will depend on the circumstances surrounding your case, but our toxic infant formula lawyer can review your situation and determine whether you qualify when you contact a Toxic Infant Formula Lawyer.

Are Infants Given Cow Milk-Based Infant Formula More Likely to Develop NEC?
Scientific data indicates that infants given cow milk-based infant formula, such as Enfamil infant formulas, are more likely to develop NEC than infants fed other non bovine based infant formula products. One study found that prematurely born infants who consumed bovine based infant formula were six to ten times more likely to develop NEC, which is alarming considering that doctors and medical professionals recommended the formula as a safe alternative to breast milk. The data linking the risk of bovine based infant formula and NEC has been around for a little less than a decade, yet the manufacturer of Enfamil still failed to list the risk of digestive disease as a side effect of their product.
In stressing the importance of avoiding cow milk based infant formula such as Siminal infant formulas and Enfamil infant formulas in favor of mothers own milk, the NEC Society states that "[f]or premature and medically fragile babies, breast milk can be a lifesaving intervention." Unlike cow based baby formula, "[m]other’s breast milk has a multitude of nutritional and immune properties that protect against many devastating infections, including necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)" explains the NEC Society. Another important benefit of mothers own milk, is that is contains less saturated fat than cow based infant formulas such as some Enfamil milk based formulas and Similic. The higher level of unsaturated fatty acids in human milk reflects the important role of these fats in brain development.
The links between bovine based infant formula and NEC in premature infants is well-established. In 2019, an independent health care research group naned Cochrane made public the results of the most extensive study to date comparing health results suffered by premature babies fed with bovine formula versus human milk. The results of the Cochrane study ended the debate about the existence of a causal relationship between cow milk based formula and NEC in premature infants.
Indeed, for over thirty (30) years the manufacturers of baby formula have known or should have known, that their cow milk-based baby formula products could cause necrotizing enterocolitis. Inexplicably, they have failed to warn doctors and the public of the potentially deadly risks associated with their baby formula(s). In fact, from 1990 to the present there have been numerous studies and well-documented publications concluding that feeding premature babies bovine based infant formula is associated with higher rates of NEC.

Has Enfamil Been Recalled?
Regrettably, the FDA has yet to recall Enfamil baby formulas from store shelves despite the risk it poses to developing infants. Instead, the formula can still be purchased across the country, allowing innocent parents to unknowingly feed a bad formula product to their children.
