Enfamil™ Baby Formula Lawsuit

What Is an Enfamil Baby Formula Lawsuit?

Toxic baby formula lawsuits can be filed against the manufacturers of harmful products (Enfamil is manufactured by Mead Johnson & Company, LLC).

Evidence has shown some cow’s milk-based formula and milk fortifier products have increased the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in babies born preterm or with a low birth weight.

These Enfamil lawsuits are considered product liability cases. Enfamil lawsuits aim to hold manufacturers accountable for making and selling goods that have harmed their consumers.

Parents and caregivers bought Enfamil products assuming they were safe for their babies. Families with children who have been harmed by Enfamil baby formula may be able to take legal action.

What Is Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)?

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal disease that most often affects premature and low-birth-weight babies. Children who are born full-term and/or are fed breast milk are less likely to develop NEC.

When the small or large intestinal tissues are inflamed or injured, a hole (perforation) can form in the intestinal wall. Because of the hole, the intestines are unable to hold waste. This can cause bacteria to leak into the child’s abdomen or bloodstream.

Common signs of NEC include:

• Bloody stools
• Constipation
• Fatigue
• Green vomit
• Issues with feeding
• Low blood pressure
• Low heart rate
• Pauses in breathing
• Swollen, red belly

This condition can be very serious and may even lead to severe bacterial infections or death. Other complications stemming from NEC include brain damage, intestinal scarring, intestinal strictures, short bowel syndrome, sepsis, and other life-threatening conditions.

If your formula-fed child has shown signs of necrotizing enterocolitis, speak to one of our caring registered nurses to learn more about your legal options.

Enfamil Baby Formula & NEC

Cow milk formula and milk fortifiers have been shown to increase the risk of babies developing NEC compared to human breast milk.

Babies with a low birth weight or who are born prematurely have an increased risk of NEC as their digestive systems aren’t fully formed.

Enfamil formula products can irritate the intestinal lining and increase the likelihood of intestinal inflammation, leading to NEC.

If your child is showing signs of NEC, contact a doctor immediately. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may help prevent serious complications.

List of Enfamil Products That May Cause NEC

There are several Enfamil baby formula products that are made with cow’s milk, and therefore may cause NEC in premature infants.

It is important to note there are no recalls for these Enfamil products at this time. However, it’s possible a recall could be issued later.

If your child is showing symptoms of NEC and is currently being fed any of the products listed above, contact your pediatrician.

Take Legal Action For NEC Today

Necrotizing enterocolitis is a serious life-threatening intestinal disease common in premature babies. Unfortunately, research has found cow’s milk-based formula and milk fortifier products can greatly increase the risk of NEC in premature children.

Manufacturers of toxic baby formula products knew of the risks but continued selling the unsafe formula to consumers. In turn, many babies got sick from these formula products.

If your premature or low-birth-weight baby was diagnosed with NEC and fed Enfamil cow’s milk-based formula or milk fortifier, you may be able to take legal action against the manufacturer.
