Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening condition that can cause severe complications, including intestinal perforation, sepsis, and even death, particularly in premature infants.
The devastating impact of NEC on mothers and families is profound, leading to long-term emotional, financial, and physical burdens as they cope with the aftermath of this condition.
NEC Lawsuits seek to hold baby formula manufacturers accountable for failing to warn about the risks associated with cow’s milk-based formulas and to secure compensation for the damages suffered by affected families.
Our lawyers are here to answer your questions, guide you through the legal process, and help you seek justice for your child and family.
Facing the devastating effects of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) on your child is an overwhelming and heart-wrenching experience.
Our NEC Baby Formula Lawyers understand the profound impact this condition has on families, and we are here to provide compassionate support and expert legal guidance.
The NEC Infant Formula Lawsuits claim that manufacturers of cow’s milk-based formulas, such as Similac and Enfamil, failed to warn parents and healthcare providers about the increased risk of NEC in premature infants.
Toxic baby formula cases are being filed both in a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in federal court and in relevant state courts.
Our lawyers are dedicated to helping families through the legal process and to pursuing the maximum compensation for the harm caused.
We work tirelessly to hold negligent manufacturers accountable and to ensure that your family’s voice is heard.
Below are some of the ways we can assist you:
Our goal is to help your family find some measure of relief and closure after such a traumatic experience, and we are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for your case.
TorHoerman Law obtained a $495 million verdict against Abbott Laboratories in a case involving the company’s Similac infant formula.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Margo Gill, whose daughter Robynn developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after being fed the cow’s milk-based formula in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The jury awarded $95 million in compensatory damages and a significant $400 million in punitive damages, sending a clear message about the consequences of failing to warn about the risks associated with cow milk based formula.
This case highlights the dedication and expertise of TorHoerman Law in holding major corporations accountable for their actions, particularly when those actions result in severe harm to vulnerable premature infants and low birth weight babies.
Our firm’s success in this trial reflects our deep commitment to seeking justice for families devastated by NEC and ensures that the voices of those impacted are heard.
As Abbott faces ongoing legal challenges, this verdict serves as a pivotal moment in the broader litigation against baby formula manufacturers.
Baby formula makers, including Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson & Company, are currently facing thousands of lawsuits filed by parents who claim that cow’s milk-based formulas, such as Similac and Enfamil, significantly increase the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature babies and low birth weight infants.
Infant Formula NEC Lawsuits allege that the companies failed to provide adequate warnings about the dangers their products posed to vulnerable infants, leading to severe health complications and, in some cases, death.
The NEC Infant Formula Litigation is being pursued in both federal and state courts, with many cases consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the Northern District of Illinois to streamline the pretrial process.
Recent high-profile verdicts, including a $495 million judgment against Abbott Laboratories, have drawn national attention to these cases and highlighted the potential for substantial compensation for affected families.
NEC baby formula plaintiffs argue that had they been properly informed about the risks, they could have chosen safer feeding alternatives, such as human milk or donor milk.
Studies have shown that children fed cow’s milk-based formulas are significantly more likely to develop NEC compared to those who are breastfed, which has become a central argument in the lawsuits.
The outcomes of the NEC Formula Lawsuits could have far-reaching implications for the infant formula industry, possibly leading to changes in labeling practices and greater regulatory oversight.
As the litigation progresses, families affected by NEC are seeking justice and compensation for the devastating impact the condition has had on their children and their lives.
The NEC Lawsuit is not only about securing financial relief but also about holding these companies accountable for the harm their products have caused.
With the next round of bellwether trials approaching, the stakes are high for both the plaintiffs and the defendants.
Baby Formula NEC cases may ultimately set new precedents in product liability law, particularly concerning products intended for the most vulnerable populations.
If your child developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after being fed cow’s milk based formulas in the NICU, you may be eligible to file an NEC Infant Formula Lawsuit.

NEC Lawsuits primarily name two major baby formula brands: Similac, manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, and Enfamil, manufactured by Mead Johnson & Company.
The litigation alleges that these companies failed to provide adequate warnings about the risks associated with their products, which are often used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Below are specific products named in the NEC Lawsuits:
The Similac and Enfamil formula named in the NEC Lawsuits are specialized products typically administered in hospitals, particularly in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) for premature or low birth weight infants.
These are not the same versions of Similac or Enfamil that you would find on the shelves of major supermarkets or stores.
Instead, they are medical-grade formulas specifically designed for use in clinical settings, where their safety for vulnerable infants is now being called into question.
If your premature baby was fed cow’s milk based formula and developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), you may be eligible to file an NEC Lawsuit.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe and often fatal gastrointestinal condition that primarily affects premature infants.
Research has consistently shown a strong link between cow’s milk-based formulas, such as Similac and Enfamil, and the development of NEC in premature babies.
The immature digestive systems of preterm babies struggle to process cow’s milk proteins, leading to inflammation, bacterial overgrowth, and, in many cases, severe intestinal damage.
While human breast milk is known to provide protective benefits against NEC, formulas made from cow’s milk continue to be used in neonatal care, raising significant concerns.
A study published in Pediatric Research highlights that infants fed with cow’s milk-based formulas are at a significantly higher risk of developing NEC compared to those fed with human milk, which offers protective benefits against this condition.
Similarly, another study found in Journal of Pediatrics demonstrated that the incidence of NEC was notably lower in preterm infants who were exclusively fed human milk, as opposed to cow’s milk-based formulas, which were linked to higher rates of intestinal inflammation and necrosis.
Additionally, research published in Nature reinforced these findings by indicating that human milk contains bioactive components that help in reducing the risk of NEC, further emphasizing the dangers posed by cow’s milk-based products in neonatal care.
These studies provide strongly advocate for the use of human milk, whether maternal or donor, as a safer alternative to reduce the incidence of NEC in preterm infants.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is not only a life-threatening condition in the short term, but it can also lead to severe, potentially life-long complications that can affect an infant’s health and development well into adulthood.
Infants who survive NEC often face significant long-term challenges, including chronic digestive issues, growth delays, and neurodevelopmental impairments.
Short bowel syndrome, a condition resulting from the surgical removal of damaged intestinal tissue, is a common complication that requires ongoing medical care and specialized nutrition.
NEC can also lead to strictures, or narrowing of the intestines, which can cause persistent digestive problems and may require further surgical interventions.
Children who have suffered from NEC are at higher risk for cognitive and motor delays due to the severe illness and the stress of intensive medical treatment.
The emotional and financial burden on families caring for a child with these complications can be overwhelming, requiring long-term medical support and adjustments in daily life.
Understanding the full scope of these potential complications is crucial for seeking appropriate compensation in an NEC Lawsuit.
Potential Life-Long Complications of NEC:
Thousands of NEC Lawsuits are being filed against the manufacturers of cow milk based formulas.
Cow milk formulas have been linked to an increased risk of developing NEC, and families from across the country are seeking compensation from major baby formula manufacturers for failing to warn of this risk.

Abbott Laboratories and Mead Johnson, the manufacturers of Similac and Enfamil baby formula products respectively, are the defendants in the NEC Lawsuits.
NEC Lawsuits claim that premature infants fed Similac and Enfamil premature infant formula are at an increased risk to develop NEC.
To file an NEC Lawsuit, you need strong evidence that links your child’s necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) diagnosis to the use of cow milk formula.
This evidence helps establish liability and demonstrates the extent of the damages suffered.
Key evidence typically includes medical and feeding records, as well as expert testimony and other documentation.
Essential Evidence for an NEC Lawsuit:
This evidence is crucial for building a strong case and seeking the compensation your family deserves.
The NEC Formula MDL (multidistrict litigation) is a legal process that consolidates numerous lawsuits filed against manufacturers of cow’s milk-based infant formulas, specifically Similac and Enfamil, which are alleged to have caused necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants.
This MDL is centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, where cases from across the country are brought together for pretrial proceedings to streamline the litigation process.
Plaintiffs in the NEC Formula MDL argue that the formula manufacturers failed to adequately warn about the risks of NEC associated with their products, leading to severe health complications and, in some cases, the death of infants.
In addition to the cases consolidated in the NEC Infant Formula MDL, numerous other NEC Lawsuits are being filed in state courts across the country.
These state court cases allow families to pursue justice under state-specific laws and provide another legal avenue for holding formula manufacturers accountable for the harm caused by their products.
Yes, you can join the NEC lawsuit if your child survived NEC but continues to suffer from long-term health issues.
The lawsuit seeks compensation not only for immediate medical expenses and pain and suffering but also for ongoing and future medical care, diminished quality of life, and other long-term impacts.
If your child requires continuous medical treatment, special education, or has a reduced life expectancy due to NEC, these factors can be included in your claim.
It’s important to consult with an experienced NEC Baby Formula Lawyer to assess the specific circumstances of your case and ensure that all potential damages are considered.
NEC Baby Formula Lawsuits claim that manufacturers of cow’s milk-based formulas, like Similac and Enfamil, failed to adequately warn consumers and healthcare providers about the increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants.
These lawsuits argue that the companies were aware of the potential dangers but did not provide sufficient warnings or instructions to mitigate the risks.
As a result, parents and caregivers were not properly informed about the safer alternatives, such as human milk or donor milk, which could have significantly reduced the likelihood of NEC.
The lawsuits seek to hold the manufacturers accountable for the severe health complications and, in some cases, the death of infants caused by these formulas.
