Abbott Laboratories, Inc. makes Similac formula. Unfortunately, research strongly suggests that formula and milk fortifiers made with cow’s milk, like Similac, have been shown to increase the risk of NEC — a serious, potentially life-threatening disease — in premature babies or babies with low birth weights.
If your baby suffered health complications relating to NEC after being fed Similac formula, you may be able to hold the makers of Similac accountable and pursue compensation for your child’s medical care through a Similac lawsuit. See if you’re eligible to take action today.
