Studies have shown that preterm infants are more likely to develop a serious gastrointestinal illness known as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) after receiving cow’s milk-based baby formulas (including bovine milk formulas manufactured by Similac and Enfamil) than they are if they are only fed donor breast milk.
NEC occurs when bacteria build up in the intestinal tract, causing inflammation, tissue damage, and tissue death in the tract lining.
If left untreated, the disease can eventually cause perforations in the intestinal tissue.
Waste can escape the intestines through these perforations and enter the abdomen, infecting other organs.
Other complications of NEC include sepsis, short bowel syndrome, and intestinal strictures.
There are currently numerous lawsuits against bovine milk-based formula manufacturers Abbott Laboratories (Similac) and Mead Johnson (Enfamil).
Parents whose premature newborns received Similac or Enfamil and later developed NEC have alleged that the manufacturers failed to warn parents about the dangers of feeding cow’s milk-based formulas to premature newborns.
