About the NEC Baby Formula Litigation background image

About the NEC Baby Formula Litigation

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a gastrointestinal disease that may affect low birth weight and preterm infants. It can cause serious medical issues, including infections, intestinal perforation, and death.

Research has shown that cow’s milk-based baby formulas, like Similac and Enfamil, may increase an infant’s risk of NEC.

Many parents are left feeling confused about how their child developed NEC. Infants who spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may have been given baby formula made with cow’s milk, like Enfamil and Similac, by hospital staff.

More than 810 lawsuits have been filed nationwide. Over $585 Million has been awarded to families affected by NEC.
