Answer the questions below:
Why do I need an attorney for my case?
Given the severity of the health risks and the potential legal implications, individuals affected by NEC-related issues should consider seeking legal representation promptly. Time limits, known as statute of limitations, exist for filing lawsuits, and delays could result in losing the opportunity to seek compensation for damages incurred.
Consulting with a lawyer experienced in mass torts and product liability cases can provide valuable guidance on eligibility for filing a lawsuit and navigating the complexities of such legal proceedings.
Gathering evidence and understanding legal options early on is essential for ensuring that the rights of affected individuals are protected and pursued effectively.
What do I need to know about this lawsuit?
Concern has arisen regarding certain baby formulas, particularly Similac and Enfamil, which may pose risks to premature babies, potentially leading to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a rare but serious intestinal disorder. Lawsuits have been initiated against manufacturers Mead Johnson and Abbott, alleging failure to warn consumers about the associated risks of NEC, despite marketing the products as safe.
The lawsuits against Mead Johnson and Abbott focus on the failure of these companies to adequately warn consumers about the risks of NEC associated with their baby formula products. Despite evidence suggesting a link between certain formulas and NEC, including observational studies indicating higher risks for premature babies fed formula versus those exclusively fed human milk, no warnings were provided by the companies. As a result, parents are suing for extensive financial losses and emotional distress related to their baby's injuries or death.
