A number of studies seem to confirm that the use of infant formula made from cow’s milk can cause an extremely dangerous condition in premature infants known as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
NEC is a bacterial infection that can infect (and possibly decay) the intestinal walls of an infant. This decay can leave an infant vulnerable to highly aggressive bacteria that can ultimately result in sepsis, causing serious injury or death in premature infants.
Similac (manufactured by Abbott Laboratories) and Enfamil (manufactured by Mead Johnson) are two infant formulas that have been linked to NEC. Investigation has shown that the manufacturers may have known of this danger to premature infants and deliberately withheld this information from the public.
If your premature infant developed NEC after ingesting either Similac, Enfamil, or a similar infant formula product made with cow’s milk, the attorneys at Strauss Troy would like to talk to you. There is no charge for an initial consultation and you pay nothing unless we recover money for you. Contact Ron Parry at 513-629-9485 or rrparry@strausstroy.com.
