Infant Formula Attorneys Representing Families of Premature Infants Harmed by Formula in Florida
Filing an NEC Baby Formula Claim
If you have a child who was fed Similac or Enfamil as a premature infant and developed NEC or other gastrointestinal issues, you may be entitled to file a Similac or Enfamil lawsuit. A baby formula lawsuit may allege:
- Defective design: A defective design claim alleges that Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson & Co. chose an unreasonably dangerous formulation by including cow’s milk in their products.
- Failure-to-warn: A failure to warn claim alleges that the formula manufacturers should have provided warnings of the risks their products posed to premature infants and should not have engaged in marketing that claimed that their products were safe for preterm babies.
In a baby formula lawsuit, you and your family may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Costs of medical treatment for your baby’s NEC
- Costs of long-term care if your baby suffers from chronic complications of their disease
- Pain and suffering
If your child passed away from NEC, you may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim that will allow you to recover compensation for the emotional trauma and distress you experienced due to your child’s passing.
What Is Necrotizing Enterocolitis?
Necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC, is a disease that impacts the intestines of infants. NEC most commonly occurs when infants are fed formula containing cow’s milk, instead of only consuming human breast milk. Necrotizing enterocolitis is caused by bacteria from the cow’s milk in formula infecting the walls of an infant’s intestine. If left untreated, this infection can lead to inflammation of the intestinal tissues and eventually result in a perforation of the intestine. When the intestine is perforated, fecal matter or other digestive fluids can leak out into the abdomen, causing potentially fatal sepsis. NEC is one of the leading gastrointestinal causes of infant death.
What Baby Formulas Are Believed to Cause NEC?
Infants who are born prematurely are often fed with baby formula in lieu of or as a supplement to breast milk to help provide them with extra nutrition that can speed up their growth. However, many brands and specific products of baby formula contain cow’s milk which can put infants, especially premature babies, at risk of developing NEC.
In particular, two manufacturers have been subject to recent lawsuits claiming that they failed to warn parents that their baby formula products created an increased risk of NEC. Abbott Laboratories, the manufacturer of Similac, and Mead Johnson & Company, the manufacturer of Enfamil, are alleged to have known of the risks of cow’s milk-based baby formulas for causing NEC for premature babies and infants.
Enfamil products that contain cow’s milk include:
- DHA-In-Sol
- 24 Calorie Formula
- Enspire
- Human Milk Fortifier Liquid/Powder
- NeuroPro EnfaCare
- NeuroPro Gentlease
- Nutramigen

Why Are Baby Formula Makers Being Sued?
Abbott, the maker of Similac baby formulas, and Mead Johnson & Co., the maker of Enfamil baby formulas, are being accused of being aware that their infant formula products posed an unreasonable risk of causing dangerous and life-threatening medical conditions for premature infants who consumed the manufacturers’ formula. The manufacturers are accused of ignoring medical research that has drawn a link between their formula products and an increased risk of premature infants developing a condition called necrotizing enterocolitis, or other gastrointestinal problems. Instead, it is claimed that the manufacturers falsely marketed their products as being just as safe as breast milk. Lawsuits allege that the manufacturers should have either reformulated their products to be safer for premature infants or should have adequately warned about the risks of their products for preterm babies.
How Baby Formula May Be Dangerous for Premature Infants
Infant formulas such as Similac and Enfamil are manufactured using cow’s milk. Recent scientific studies have identified a potential link between cow’s milk-based infant formulas and an increased risk of premature babies developing necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC. It is believed that premature babies’ underdeveloped intestinal tracts are susceptible to infection by bacteria naturally present in cow’s milk. If a baby’s intestinal tissue is infected by bacteria, it may become inflamed. An untreated infection and inflammation may eventually lead to perforation of the intestinal wall, causing fecal matter to leak into a baby’s abdomen. When this occurs, a baby may quickly suffer brain damage, sepsis, and eventually death. While NEC can be treated if caught early enough, a baby may end up requiring the removal of a permanently damaged intestine, which may lead to lifelong gastrointestinal issues.
Introduction to NEC Litigation and Its Importance
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating condition that primarily affects premature infants, causing severe inflammation and infection in the intestines. This condition can lead to life-threatening complications, such as perforation of the intestinal wall, sepsis, and even death. Recent studies have revealed a disturbing link between the consumption of cow’s milk-based infant formulas and an increased risk of developing NEC in premature babies. Despite these findings, some manufacturers continue to market these formulas as safe for all infants, including those born prematurely.
For families whose children have suffered from NEC after being fed cow’s milk-based formula, litigation provides a vital pathway to seek justice and hold these manufacturers accountable. NEC litigation can help cover medical expenses, long-term care, and other associated costs, providing much-needed support to families during an incredibly challenging time. At Gonzalez & Cartwright, P.A., we are dedicated to advocating for the rights of these families, using our extensive experience in personal injury and product liability law to fight for fair compensation.
Why Cow Milk-Based Infant Formula Is Harmful to Premature Babies
Understanding Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) and Its Impact
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal condition that primarily affects premature infants. It occurs when the lining of the intestinal wall becomes inflamed and begins to die. This inflammation can lead to perforations in the intestine, allowing bacteria or digestive waste to leak into the abdomen. Such perforations can cause severe infections like sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition, or lead to other serious complications such as brain damage. The rapid progression and severe outcomes of NEC make it one of the most concerning conditions in neonatal care.
The Link Between Cow’s Milk-Based Formula and NEC
Recent studies have highlighted a significant link between the use of cow’s milk-based infant formulas and an increased risk of NEC in premature babies. Unlike full-term infants, premature babies have underdeveloped digestive systems that are less capable of processing and protecting against harmful bacteria found in cow’s milk. The immature intestines of these infants can easily become inflamed when exposed to foreign proteins present in cow’s milk-based formulas. This disruption in their delicate gut environment can promote the growth of harmful bacteria, triggering the onset of NEC.
Why Premature Babies Are Especially Vulnerable
Premature infants are particularly vulnerable to NEC because their intestines are not fully developed. The cells lining their intestines are less mature, and their immune systems are weaker, making them less capable of fending off infections. When fed cow’s milk-based formula, these babies are exposed to proteins and bacteria that their bodies are not yet equipped to handle. This increases the risk of inflammation, bacterial invasion, and, ultimately, NEC. In contrast, human breast milk provides essential antibodies and nutrients that help protect a premature infant’s digestive system, promoting a healthier gut flora balance and reducing the risk of NEC.
Immature Digestive Systems in Premature Infants
Premature babies are born with underdeveloped digestive systems, which are not fully equipped to handle complex proteins found in cow’s milk-based formulas. The lining of their intestines is still forming, making it more susceptible to inflammation and damage. When premature infants consume cow’s milk-based formula, their immature digestive tracts can react negatively to the foreign proteins and bacteria present in the formula. This reaction can lead to an imbalance in gut bacteria and increase the risk of intestinal inflammation, a precursor to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
Increased Risk of Bacterial Infection and NEC
The proteins in cow’s milk can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in a premature infant’s gut. Unlike human breast milk, which supports the growth of beneficial bacteria, cow’s milk-based formulas can promote the growth of harmful bacteria. These harmful bacteria can invade the underdeveloped intestinal wall of a premature baby, leading to an increased risk of infections and NEC. The development of NEC is particularly concerning because it causes severe inflammation, leading to the death of intestinal tissues and, potentially, life-threatening complications such as sepsis or a perforated intestine.
Lack of Protective Nutrients and Antibodies
Human breast milk is specifically tailored to meet the needs of newborns, especially those born prematurely. It contains a unique combination of antibodies, enzymes, and nutrients that support the immune system and promote healthy gut development. These components help protect the immature digestive systems of premature infants from harmful bacteria and inflammation. Cow’s milk-based formulas lack these protective nutrients and antibodies, making premature infants more vulnerable to developing NEC and other serious gastrointestinal conditions.
Potential for Severe Long-Term Health Complications
Feeding premature babies cow’s milk-based formula increases their risk of NEC, which can lead to severe and long-lasting health complications. If NEC progresses, it can result in the perforation of the intestinal wall, allowing bacteria and waste to leak into the abdominal cavity, causing widespread infection. In severe cases, surgical intervention is required to remove damaged portions of the intestine, which can lead to chronic digestive issues and conditions such as short bowel syndrome. These complications can necessitate lifelong medical care, nutritional support, and significantly impact the quality of life for the affected child.
Consequences of NEC and the Need for Surgery
If NEC is detected early, aggressive treatment with antibiotics may sometimes be sufficient to manage the infection. However, in many cases, the condition progresses rapidly, leading to more severe complications. When the intestines are severely damaged, surgical intervention becomes necessary. Surgery for NEC often involves removing the damaged sections of the intestine, which can have long-term consequences for the child. These consequences may include short bowel syndrome, which affects nutrient absorption and can lead to chronic digestive issues and the need for lifelong medical care.
Medical Recommendations and Lack of Warnings
Due to the heightened risks associated with cow’s milk-based formulas, the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends that premature infants be fed human breast milk whenever possible. Human breast milk is rich in antibodies, growth factors, and enzymes that aid in protecting the infant’s digestive system from NEC and promoting healthy development. Unfortunately, many parents are not fully informed about the risks of cow’s milk-based formulas. Manufacturers often market these formulas as safe for all infants, including those born prematurely, without adequate warnings about the potential dangers. This lack of transparency and proper guidance can lead to devastating outcomes for families who are unaware of the risks associated with these products.
Legal Rights for Families Affected by NEC
If your premature child developed NEC after consuming cow’s milk-based infant formula, it is crucial to understand your legal rights. Families may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, long-term care needs, and other damages resulting from this severe condition. At Gonzalez & Cartwright, P.A., we are dedicated to helping families navigate these complex legal challenges and holding manufacturers accountable for their negligence. Our experienced legal team is here to provide the support and guidance you need to seek justice for your family and ensure that your rights are protected.
Types of Compensation That Can Be Pursued
Families who have experienced the trauma of an NEC diagnosis may be entitled to various types of compensation through an NEC lawsuit. The compensation sought can cover:
Medical Expenses
This includes the costs associated with the initial hospitalization, surgeries, medications, ongoing treatments, and any future medical care required due to complications from NEC.
Pain and Suffering
Compensation may also be available for the physical pain and emotional distress endured by both the infant and the family as a result of the NEC diagnosis and subsequent medical interventions.
Long-Term Care Costs
In cases where NEC leads to long-term health issues such as short bowel syndrome or other chronic conditions, compensation may be pursued for the costs associated with ongoing medical care, therapy, and special accommodations needed for the child’s care and quality of life.
Wrongful Death
If NEC tragically results in the death of an infant, parents or guardians may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim. This can provide compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages related to the loss of the child.
Who Can File an NEC Lawsuit?
Eligibility Criteria for Filing an NEC Lawsuit
Parents or guardians of premature infants who developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after being fed cow’s milk-based infant formula may be eligible to file an NEC lawsuit. The eligibility for filing such a lawsuit typically depends on several factors, including:
Diagnosis of NEC
The premature infant must have been diagnosed with NEC, a serious gastrointestinal condition. Medical records documenting the diagnosis, treatment, and progression of the disease are crucial for establishing a case.
Use of Cow’s Milk-Based Formula
There must be a documented history of the infant being fed cow’s milk-based formula, which is linked to the development of NEC. This could include records from the hospital or neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) indicating the type of formula used.
Link Between Formula and NEC
The case must demonstrate a plausible connection between the cow’s milk-based formula and the onset of NEC. This can involve presenting scientific research, expert testimony, and medical evidence that supports the claim that the formula contributed to the infant’s condition.
Statute of Limitations and the Importance of Timely Action
It is crucial for families considering an NEC lawsuit to act promptly due to the statute of limitations, which limits the time frame within which a lawsuit can be filed. The statute of limitations varies by state and can depend on several factors, including when the injury was discovered and the type of claim being pursued. Consulting with an experienced attorney as soon as possible is essential to ensure that the claim is filed within the required time limits.

Legal Rights of Families Affected by NEC Due to Infant Formula
Understanding Your Legal Rights
If your premature infant developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after consuming cow’s milk-based infant formula, you may have legal rights to pursue compensation for the harm caused. Manufacturers of these formulas have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their products and to provide adequate warnings about potential risks, especially when their products are used in vulnerable populations such as premature infants. When these companies fail to uphold their duty of care, they can be held legally accountable through litigation.
Grounds for NEC Lawsuits
Families affected by NEC have several potential legal grounds for pursuing lawsuits against formula manufacturers:
Product Liability
Manufacturers of cow’s milk-based infant formulas can be held liable if their product is proven to be defective or unreasonably dangerous for use in premature infants. This can include claims of design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to provide adequate warnings about the risks associated with using the product.
Failure to Warn
Many lawsuits allege that formula manufacturers failed to provide sufficient warnings to consumers about the risks of NEC associated with cow’s milk-based formulas. If a manufacturer knew or should have known about these risks and did not adequately warn healthcare providers or parents, they could be held liable for resulting injuries.
Negligence
A negligence claim can arise when a formula manufacturer fails to exercise reasonable care in the development, testing, or marketing of their product. If it is proven that a company’s negligence led to the increased risk of NEC and subsequent harm to a premature infant, the family may be entitled to compensation.
Breach of Warranty
Some claims may involve breaches of express or implied warranties. An express warranty is an explicit guarantee about a product’s safety or efficacy, while an implied warranty suggests that the product is safe for its intended use. If a formula is marketed as safe for premature infants but poses a significant risk of NEC, families may have a basis for a breach of warranty claim.
Compensation Available Through NEC Lawsuits
Families who file NEC lawsuits may be entitled to various forms of compensation to address the damages suffered as a result of their child’s condition. These compensatory damages can include:
Medical Expenses
Compensation for all past, current, and future medical costs related to the diagnosis and treatment of NEC, including surgeries, hospital stays, medications, and ongoing medical care.
Pain and Suffering
Financial compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress endured by the infant due to NEC and any related medical interventions.
Long-Term Care and Support
Damages for the cost of long-term care, including specialized medical treatments, therapy, and any assistive devices or modifications needed for the child’s daily life.
Loss of Consortium
In cases where NEC has significantly impacted the family’s ability to enjoy a normal family life, damages may be awarded for loss of consortium. This includes the loss of companionship, affection, and emotional support that family members experience when caring for an injured child.
Wrongful Death Damages
If NEC leads to the tragic death of an infant, families may pursue wrongful death damages. These damages can cover funeral and burial expenses, loss of future income and support, and compensation for the emotional pain and suffering caused by the loss of a child.
Holding Manufacturers Accountable
By pursuing an NEC lawsuit, families are not only seeking compensation for the damages suffered but also holding formula manufacturers accountable for their actions. These lawsuits can serve as a powerful deterrent against negligent behavior and help ensure that safer practices are adopted in the future. It is a way to demand justice and promote greater transparency and responsibility within the infant formula industry.
