Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious and potentially fatal intestinal disease that primarily affects premature babies. Studies have shown that premature infants who were fed baby formulas such as Similac or Enfamil in the NICU are significantly more likely to develop this devastating condition. These cow's milk-based formulas pose a serious risk to the health and safety of premature babies which manufacturers Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson failed to properly warn consumers about. Complications of NEC can include: -Sepsis -Peritonitis (abdominal infection) -Intestinal stricture or perforation -Short bowel syndrome -Cerebral palsy or neurological damage -Developmental delays -Wrongful death If your premature baby was given Similac or Enfamil in the hospital and then diagnosed with NEC during that same hospital stay, you may be eligible to file a product liability lawsuit against the formula manufacturers.
