Use the chatbot on this page to find out if you qualify for the NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit.
Contact TorHoerman Law for a free consultation.
On this page, we’ll discuss the NEC class action lawsuit, what a multidistrict litigation is, brands named in the lawsuit, potential settlement amounts, and much more.
The NEC baby formula lawsuits have been filed by parents of premature babies fed infant formula and developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening gastric condition that impacts infants, particularly premature babies.
Parents have taken legal action against the manufacturers of toxic cow milk formula products.
Defendants named in the NEC Infant Formula Litigation include Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson.
Lawsuits filed against baby formula manufacturers have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
MDL is different from class action lawsuits: each case is settled based on each claimant’s respective damages.
Class action settlements are distributed equally among all plaintiffs in the class.
Many law firms on the internet refer to the NEC Baby Formula MDL as the “NEC Class Action Lawsuit” even though the term is incorrect.
If your child has developed NEC after being fed cow milk based formulas, human milk fortifiers, or other human breast milk replacement formulas, you may be eligible to file an NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit.

You can also use the chatbot on this page to find out if you qualify for the NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit instantly.
No, there is not an NEC Class Action Lawsuit.
The NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit is consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
MDL appears to be similar to a class action lawsuit, but operates and distributes settlements in a different manner.
It’s important that potential clients in the NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit understand how MDL differs from a class action lawsuit.
The NEC Baby Formula Lawsuits consolidated into the MDL consist of product liability claims made against Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson.
The claims made were from parents all over the country whose children fell victim to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
In an MDL, settlements are distributed to claimants based on the facts of their individual case and damages.
Enfamil and Similac Baby Formula Lawsuits filed in the MDL would be compensated according to their unique situation.
If the NEC Infant Formula Lawsuit was filed as a class action lawsuit, settlements would be distributed evenly amongst all claimants, regardless of their individual situations and damages.
This means that even if a claimant’s premature baby passed away due to NEC, they would receive the same monetary compensation as a person whose child was much less effected.
This is a defining difference between MDL and class action lawsuits.
What causes infant formula from Abbott and Mead Johnson to be toxic to premature infants?
The toxicity of certain Similac and Enfamil baby formulas is their base ingredient — cow’s milk.
Studies have shown that cow milk formulas are inferior to an only human breast milk diet when it comes to nourishing preterm infants.
In fact, not only are cow milk formula products inferior; they are also dangerous, according to a 2021 study.
Based on the study’s findings, preterm infants fed cow’s milk-based formula were at higher risk of developing NEC.
The same study concludes that the best milk for premature babies is still human milk.
In short, Similac and Enfamil baby formulas may be toxic due to their cow milk content.
By knowingly incorporating cow’s milk into their baby formulas, infant formula manufacturers could be liable for potential product liability lawsuits.
Also, the hospitals where preterm infants received cow milk-based formulas make themselves liable for medical malpractice lawsuits.
Our lawyers handle several toxic baby formula lawsuits in Illinois and Missouri.
Looking at all the cases we handle, we found one common denominator — the consumption of the Similac and Enfamil formula.
Similac Lawsuit — Baby formula brands mentioned in the NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit include:
Enfamil Lawsuit — You may also be entitled to a toxic baby formula lawsuit if your baby developed NEC from the following Enfamil baby formula products:
You may be eligible for an NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit if you have had a child who was diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis after being administered bovine-based formula.

Experienced infant formula lawyers will help assess and build your case, litigate your lawsuit, and get rightful compensation for your injuries.

Contingency fees can be utilized in the instance where you cannot pay for an attorney, but are in need of one.
TorHoerman Law operates on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay for legal representation unless you receive financial compensation for your case.

You must compile adequate evidence supporting your personal injury case.
Strong evidence can greatly increase your chances of reaching a solid settlement.

Your attorney will also help in the process of gathering evidence to build your potential baby formula lawsuit.
Damages are the total amount the defendant is liable to compensate for injuries caused.
A premature child that contracted NEC is an instance where assessing economic damages should be straightforward.

The NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit is still in its early stages and as of now, no settlements have been reached with baby formula manufacturers.
Our NEC Baby Formula Lawyers are following the litigation closely, and we estimate that NEC Baby Formula Lawsuits may result in significant settlements.
Estimated settlement amounts for NEC lawsuits may range between $5,000 to over $500,000.

Necrotizing enterocolitis is a gastrointestinal disease that almost exclusively affects infants born before the 37th week of pregnancy (premature babies).
It creates intestinal inflammation, causing cells to die and holes to form.
This then allows harmful and potentially deadly bacteria to leak in and infect the intestines.
