The NEC lawsuit seeks compensation for parents and accountability for manufacturers based on injury and death infants have suffered after using baby formula. Medical studies verify higher incidents of necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants given formula made from cow’s milk. When NEC develops in very low birth weight infants, it is fatal in up to 50% of cases. The NEC lawsuit allows parents to assert their rights have their voices heard for the harm their children have suffered.

Your lawyers for necrotizing enterocolitis claims can help you determine the appropriate causes of action to state in your claim.
If you used Similac or Enfamil formula for your child, you probably assumed that it was safe. It didn’t cross your mind that your child could become seriously ill.

Doctors aren’t sure why some infants develop NEC, but it’s more common in premature babies. Their organs are less developed than full-term children, so they may be less able to digest formula. They also may not be as capable of fighting infection than they would be if born at full term. Premature babies who are given formula are at an increased risk to develop NEC.
NEC baby formula symptoms may include:
