Over the last few decades, doctors have recommended that prematurely born babies be given baby formula to support their growth and development, but a recent scientific study has uncovered evidence that some baby formula products aren’t as healthy as we previously thought. According to the study, cow-milk-based formula products cause an increased risk of digestive disease, mainly necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Enfamil and Similac, two popular brands of baby formula, are at the forefront of the problem, as their products were highlighted in the study due to the risk they pose to developing babies. To make matters worse, Enfamil and Similac have yet to include the risk of digestive disease on their warning label, causing innocent parents to unknowingly feed a toxic product to their children.
No one should unknowingly endanger their wellbeing from a product they found on store shelves, especially when that product is marketed as a healthy alternative to breastfeeding for newborn children. All manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their products prior to sale, and if they fail to do so, it’s an actionable offense. If your child developed health concerns as a result of their baby formula, our attorneys understand your frustration and want to help. Together, we can hold these negligent manufacturers accountable for their injustice and set an example for others to follow in the future.
