Do You Qualify for the Similac Lawsuit?
Use the chatbot on this page to find out.
Similac lawsuit claims allege Abbott’s cow milk-based formula caused necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants.
Parents filing Similac lawsuits claim Abbott failed to adequately warn consumers of the NEC risks linked to their cow milk-based formula products.
On this page, we’ll discuss the ongoing Similac Lawsuit for Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) suffered by premature babies and low birth weight infants, the baby formula manufacturers named in the NEC Lawsuits, how our NEC Baby Formula Lawyers can help you, and much more.
The Baby Formula NEC Lawsuit claims that cow’s milk-based baby formulas, particularly Similac produced by Abbott Laboratories and Enfamil produced by Mead Johnson, significantly increase the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants.
Families allege that Abbott Laboratories failed to adequately warn consumers and healthcare providers about these risks, leading to severe health complications and, in some cases, the tragic loss of life.
Similac and Enfamil baby formula products named in the NEC Lawsuits are medically administered infant formulas found in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of hospitals, and are not available to the general public.
The ongoing litigation has seen significant developments, including a landmark $495 million verdict obtained by TorHoerman Law against Abbott Laboratories in July 2024.
This verdict highlights the severity of the claims and the potential for substantial compensation for affected families.
As the NEC Infant Formula Lawsuits continue in both state courts and through the multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of Illinois, more families are coming forward to seek justice for their children.
Our lawyers are currently accepting new clients for the Toxic Baby Formula Lawsuit.
If you or someone you know has an infant who has been diagnosed with NEC after consuming Similac baby formula, you may be eligible to file a claim.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition that primarily affects premature infants, leading to the death of intestinal tissue and severe health complications.
The impact of NEC extends beyond the infant, causing emotional and financial strain on families as they experience the challenges of intensive medical care and long-term health issues.
NEC Lawsuits aim to hold baby formula manufacturers accountable for their role in increasing the risk of NEC in vulnerable infants and seek justice and compensation for affected families.
For more information on the Toxic Baby Formula Litigation, the process for NEC Formula Lawsuits, and to find out how our NEC Baby Formula Lawyers can help you, reach out to us.
The Toxic Baby Formula NEC Lawsuit involves infant formula brands that have been linked to an increased risk of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC), a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that affects the intestines of premature babies and low birth weight infants.
NEC can severely impact the health of a premature baby, potentially leading to life-threatening complications such as intestinal perforation, systemic infection, and long-term developmental delays.
NEC Lawsuits concern Similac and Enfamil baby formulas that are medically administered in the NICU of hospitals, and do not include Similac and Enfamil baby formula products that are sold in stores to the general public.
Cow milk based formula products are supplied and sold by major baby formula makers to hospitals across the country, and lawsuits claim that these companies failed to adequately warn medical professionals and parents about the heightened risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants who were fed these formulas.
NEC Baby Formula Lawsuits argue that the manufacturers prioritized profits over safety, leading to devastating health outcomes for vulnerable infants.
NEC Lawsuits aim to hold these companies accountable for the harm caused by their products and to secure compensation for the affected families.
Parents of preterm infants fed cow’s milk based formulas who later developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) may be eligible to file an NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit and seek compensation.
Our Toxic Baby Formula Lawyers are accepting new clients.
For information and personalized insight on your potential Baby Formula Lawsuit, contact our law firm today.
We’re ready to help you.
In July 2024, TorHoerman Law’s team of NEC Baby Formula Lawyers obtained a landmark $495 million verdict against Abbott Laboratories, the maker of Similac.
In this case we represented Margo Gill, a mother whose premature infant daughter developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after being fed Similac cow’s milk based formulas in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a St. Louis area hospital.
Despite having knowledge that premature babies are at an increased risk of developing NEC when given cow’s milk formula, Abbott did not provide parents of premature infants any information regarding the risk, incidence, or severity of NEC for babies on formula versus human milk.
The company admitted this in the trial.
Robynn, now almost three years old, had approximately 75 percent of her intestine removed following her NEC diagnosis, and suffered brain damage.
She will need intensive care for the rest of her life, and this verdict will provide the necessary financial support to cover her extensive medical and care needs.
On July 26, 2024, the jury delivered its verdict, holding Abbott accountable and liable to pay compensatory damages of $95 million and punitive damages of $400 million.
The Similac Baby Formula Lawsuits concern formulas that are specifically administered to premature or low birth weight infants in hospital settings, not the typical products found on store shelves.
These baby formulas are often given to infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to meet the nutritional needs of vulnerable babies who require specialized care.
Manufacturers like Abbott Laboratories market and sell these products directly to hospitals, promoting them as essential for the growth and development of preterm infants.
However, the lawsuits allege that these formulas, which are cow’s milk-based, significantly increase the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in these high-risk infants.
Specific Similac infant formula products included in the Toxic Baby Formula Lawsuit include:
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that affects the intestinal tract of infants and is characterized by the death of intestinal tissue, leading to severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other symptoms.
A study published in the journal Pediatrics in 2017 found that infants who were fed formula containing cow’s milk protein were more likely to develop NEC than those who were fed human breast milk or fed a formula made from hydrolyzed protein.
Another study published in the British Journal of Nutrition in 2018 found that formula-fed infants had a higher risk of NEC compared to those who were exclusively breastfed.
There is evidence to suggest that feeding bovine milk-based formula to premature babies may increase their risk of developing Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC).
One study found that premature infants who were fed bovine milk-based formula had a higher incidence of NEC compared to those who were fed human milk or a non-bovine milk-based formula.
Another study found that premature infants who were fed bovine milk-based formula had a higher risk of NEC and other gastrointestinal complications compared to those who were fed human milk.
These studies suggest that there may be a higher risk of NEC in premature infants who are fed bovine milk-based formula compared to those who are fed human milk or a non-bovine milk-based formula.
If you are the parent of a premature infant, it’s important to discuss your feeding options with a healthcare provider to determine the best choice for your child.
Toxic baby formulas have been linked to an increased risk of NEC.
Studies have shown that cow milk formula fed babies are at an increased risk to develop NEC compared to babies fed human breast milk.
The NEC Litigation claims that major baby formula manufacturers failed to properly warn parents and healthcare providers of the increased risk of NEC.
If your premature infant developed NEC after being fed cow’s milk based formula such as Similac, you may be eligible to file a Similac Lawsuit and seek compensation.

Lawyers help NEC Baby Formula plaintiffs through the entire legal process, starting with the preliminary steps of gathering evidence and assessing damages.
To successfully pursue a Similac Baby Formula Lawsuit, gathering strong evidence is essential.
Evidence not only helps establish the link between the formula and the development of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) but also demonstrates the extent of harm caused.
Properly documented evidence can significantly influence the outcome of the case, ensuring that families receive the compensation they deserve.
Working with experienced lawyers can help in identifying, gathering, and preserving the necessary evidence to build a compelling case.
Evidence in Similac Baby Formula Lawsuits may include:
Assessing damages in Similac Baby Formula Lawsuits involves evaluating the full extent of the harm caused to both the infant and their family.
Damages are the financial compensation sought for the economic and non-economic losses experienced due to the development of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after consuming the formula.
This compensation aims to cover a wide range of impacts, from medical expenses to emotional suffering.
Properly assessing damages is crucial to ensuring that families receive adequate compensation for the challenges they face.
An experienced lawyer can help thoroughly evaluate all potential damages to advocate for the maximum possible compensation.
Damages in Similac Baby Formula Lawsuits may include:
Premature babies diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) often face lifelong medical issues, and their families endure significant emotional and financial burdens as they navigate ongoing medical care.
The extensive treatments and potential surgeries needed to manage NEC can lead to substantial healthcare costs and long-term complications for the affected child.
Families may also experience a profound impact on their quality of life, including the need for specialized care and support.
If this situation sounds familiar and your child developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after being fed cow’s milk based infant formula products, you may be eligible to file an NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit.
Contact TorHoerman Law for a free consultation, or use the chatbot on this page to see if you qualify for a Similac Baby Formula Lawsuit instantly.
The NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit involves legal actions against major baby formula manufacturers, such as Abbott Laboratories (maker of Similac) and Mead Johnson & Company (maker of Enfamil).
Plaintiffs allege that these companies failed to warn parents and healthcare providers about the risks of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) associated with cow’s milk-based formulas, which are commonly fed to premature infants.
NEC is a serious and potentially fatal gastrointestinal condition that can cause severe complications, including intestinal perforation, infection, and long-term health issues.
NEC Lawsuits aim to hold these companies accountable for their alleged negligence in marketing and selling these formulas without adequate warnings.
If successful, affected families could receive compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other related damages.
Families with premature or low birth weight infants who developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after being fed cow’s milk-based formulas, such as Similac or Enfamil, may be eligible to file a lawsuit.
Eligibility typically depends on the timing of the diagnosis, the specific formula used, and medical records related to treatment.
Medical records, feeding logs, and expert testimony may be crucial in establishing a connection between the formula and the development of NEC.
Families should consider the statute of limitations in their state, which may limit the time they have to file a lawsuit.
Consulting with an experienced NEC Baby Formula Lawyer is essential to determine eligibility and pursue legal action.
Families involved in NEC Baby Formula Lawsuits may seek compensation for a variety of damages.
These can include medical expenses for treating NEC, such as surgeries, hospital stays, and ongoing medical care.
Compensation may also cover non-economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
In cases where the infant suffers long-term disabilities or requires lifelong care, the compensation could also account for future medical costs and lost earning potential.
Additionally, if the lawsuit involves wrongful death, families may seek compensation for funeral expenses and loss of companionship.
The total compensation will vary depending on the severity of the case and the specific circumstances involved.
Specially administered baby formula products made by Abbott and Mead Johnson are named in the NEC Lawsuit.
These include specific types of Similac formulas and Enfamil formula made for premature infants.
Similac formulas named in the NEC Lawsuit includes:
Enfamil baby formulas named in the NEC Lawsuit include:
If your child developed NEC after being fed Similac or Enfamil baby formula in the NICU, you may be eligible to file an NEC Baby Formula Lawsuit.
No, there is not a class action lawsuit specifically for NEC (Necrotizing Enterocolitis) related to baby formula.
Instead, these cases are being handled individually in both state courts and through multidistrict litigation (MDL) in federal court.
The difference is that in a class action, all plaintiffs are grouped together in a single case, and any settlement is shared equally among all members.
In contrast, the NEC Baby Formula MDL consolidates individual cases for pretrial proceedings but allows each case to be judged on its own merits.
This structure gives families the opportunity to pursue compensation based on the specific damages and circumstances of their case.
