TOXIC BABY FORMULA & LAWSUIT
Some brands of cow milk-based baby formula can cause infants to develop NEC, a potentially deadly digestive condition
Cow based infant baba formula linked to NEC
Premature babies often need extra nutrition to support their undeveloped bodies and offset their initial low birth weight. Many doctors will recommend using bovine based baby formula to the parents, but recent evidence suggests that some brands of cow milk-based baby formula can cause infants to develop necrotizing enterocolitis, a potentially deadly digestive condition. To make matters worse, some of the manufacturers of their cow milk-based baby formula, Abbott Laboratories, and Mead Johnson & Company, never added a warning label on their toxic baby formula products that contained cow milk, causing more unsuspecting parents to put their children at risk.
Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson & Company 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 cow milk-based baby formulas, families all over have had to deal with losing their children to what they thought was a safe product.

Scientific data indicates that infants given cow milk-based baby formula, such as Enfamil baby formulas, are more likely to develop NEC than infants fed other non bovine based baby formula products. One study found that prematurely born infants who consumed bovine based baby 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 cow milk-based baby 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 baby formula such as Siminal baby formulas and Enfamil baby 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."
