If your baby has been diagnosed with Necrotizing Entercolitis (NEC), it may be as a result of the baby formula your child ingested- most notably Similac and Enfamil. NECis a gastrointestinal condition that may inflammation in the intestines which often leads to serious complications in premature babies.
Parents, including several represented by SLG, are suing the manufacturers of such formula (Mead Johnson and Abbott Laboratories) alleging they knew or should have known that their baby formula caused NEC in premature babies. Several studies have linked cow’s milk based formula to NEC in premature babies.
Common injuries associated with NEC:

- Intestinal Perforation
- Scarring in the intestines
