The heart breaking truth is You trusted formula manufacturers to provide safe nourishment for your newborn, but they knowingly sold products that could cause life-threatening conditions like necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).

The Heart-Breaking Truth.

  • Premature infants, especially those with birth weights under 1500g, are at the highest risk for developing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). This condition affects 1-3% of all NICU admissions and has a mortality rate between 20-30%.*
  • Formula-fed infants are 6-10 times more likely to develop NEC compared to those fed breast milk alone.*
  • Lawsuits allege that manufacturers like Abbott Laboratories knew about the risks of NEC linked to their formulas, yet failed to adequately warn hospitals or parents, leading to over 538 pending cases in federal court as of August 2024.
  • NEC can cause severe complications, including long-term neurological damage and, in severe cases, death, making it one of the most dangerous conditions in preterm infants.*
