Legal Help for Parents of Babies Diagnosed With NEC
Premature infants fed cow’s milk-based baby formula—including products like Similac and Enfamil—have been found to face a higher risk of developing a dangerous intestinal disease known as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
If your child was diagnosed with NEC after being fed baby formula, you may be eligible for financial compensation.
Associates Law Center is investigating claims on behalf of affected families nationwide.
Understanding NEC (Necrotizing Enterocolitis)
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal condition that primarily affects premature or low-birth-weight infants.
NEC causes inflammation and tissue death in the intestines, which can lead to infection, sepsis, or even death in severe cases.
Common NEC Symptoms Include:
Swollen or tender abdomen
Difficulty feeding or vomiting
Blood in stool
Lethargy or low activity
Temperature instability
Breathing problems or infection
In many cases, infants with NEC require emergency surgery to remove damaged portions of the intestines and may suffer lifelong digestive complications or disabilities.
Why Are Lawsuits Being Filed?
Research published in medical journals such as The Lancet and Pediatrics has shown that premature babies fed cow’s milk-based formula are significantly more likely to develop NEC than those given human breast milk or fortified human milk alternatives.
Families allege that formula manufacturers, including Abbott Laboratories (Similac) and Mead Johnson & Company (Enfamil), knew about these risks but failed to properly warn parents, hospitals, and medical professionals.
You May Be Eligible for Compensation If:
-
Your premature or low-birth-weight baby was fed Similac, Enfamil, or another cow’s milk-based formula; and
-
Your baby was diagnosed with NEC, required surgery, or suffered serious complications or death.
Compensation may cover:
-
Medical expenses and hospital costs
-
Pain and suffering
-
Long-term care or therapy
-
Wrongful death damages
