WARNING FOR PARENTS OF PREMATURE INFANTS
Similac and Enfamil Associated With Intestinal Injury
When a child is born prematurely, their parents face serious concerns about their short- and long-term health. Everyone wants what’s best for their baby, and parents of premature infants have more on their plates than most. Babies born prematurely have special needs and generally need additional care. After already facing setbacks, they deserve the best chance of survival and normal growth. One of the life-threatening complications found in premature infants is necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a severe and potentially fatal inflammation of the intestinal tract that can cause the bowel to die. Tragically, NEC has almost a 50% death rate. Premature infants who recover from NEC can face lifelong challenges, including developmental and growth delays, cognitive disabilities, and intestinal problems. Premature infants’ digestive tracts are intolerant to cow milk enzymes. As a result, evidence shows that premature infants have over a 300% increased chance of developing NEC when provided with cow’s milk formulas. Yet, when parents purchase infant formula, they are often left unaware of when it could cause harm to their babies. The manufacturers of Similac (Abbott) and Enfamil (Mead Johnson) have produced, marketed, and sold their cow milk-based baby formulas without any warning regarding the risk of NEC they pose to premature infants. The dangerous products include Similac Special Care, Similac Neosure, Enfamil NeuroPro, and Enfacare. There are many non-cow
milk alternatives that do not expose vulnerable premature infants to NEC, and parents should be able to trust the products marketed to them are safe for their children. No one should ever be misled into feeding potentially deadly food to their infant. We will work to obtain compensation for infants born at up to 36 weeks of gestation who were fed cow’s milk formulas made by Similac or Enfamil and later diagnosed with NEC. The attorneys at Cellino Law have extensive experience representing our clients against medical, pharmaceutical, and over-the-counter product manufacturers that market products without adequate warning. These companies should not be allowed to harm consumers without repercussions, and we know how to fight back. Call us today for a free consultation and case review.
