Cut Formula Settlement For Free

Estimated settlement amounts for NEC lawsuits may range between $5,000 to over $500,000. These estimated settlement amounts are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation for NEC lawsuits, they are simply an educated guess based on results in previous product liability lawsuits.

In February 2022, a lawsuit was filed against Abbott Laboratories Inc. by the parents of a premature baby who developed NEC after being fed Similac NeoSure in the NICU.

NEC baby formula lawsuits claim babies who were fed Similac or Enfamil cow's milk formulas developed necrotizing enterocolitis, a disease that can cause serious intestinal damage and death. Lawsuits say manufacturers Mead Johnson and Abbott failed to warn parents about NEC risks.

Mead Johnson & Co. agreed to pay $8.4 million to resolve the false advertising class action lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, consumers could receive up to $3 per Enfamil product for payments of up to $15 without proof of purchase or $45 with proof of purchase.
