NEC Baby Formula Lawsuits

Premature infants often need extra care and nutrition to support their development and growth. Often parents are advised by medical professionals to give their children formula during their early stages. However, recent evidence suggests that certain formula brands can cause necrotizing enterocolitis in infants. Despite this, manufacturers like Abbott Laboratories, and Mead Johnson & Company have neglected to add this life-threatening side effect to their warning labels. This is causing more unsuspecting partners to put their children’s lives at risk. 

If your child has developed health concerns as a result of baby formula and meets the criteria below, Langston & Lott are here to help you.
