Parents Of Children With NEC Should Consult An NEC Lawyer For Legal Advise

An NEC lawyer can help parents hold the makers of Enfamil and Similac baby formulas accountable for their child's pain and suffering

Tuesday, November 16, 2021 - Parents of infants that have been born prematurely and then developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) may be looking for answers to why their child became sick and died and did not thrive with good health under the care of the best doctors with the latest medical technology. Most parents would not suspect that the baby formula given to their child contained toxic heavy metals that could cause sickness and death. As usual, the public has no choice but to look towards attorneys to seek justice and get the answers they need to move forward in life. Many parents want to hold the companies that are to blame for their infant's pain and suffering accountable and also to collect monetary compensation for medical expenses and time away from work and also for the pain and suffering they and their child had to endure. If your child was born prematurely and given Enfamil or Similac, you may qualify to file a NEC baby formula lawsuit against the makers of the baby formula.

Premature babies that are fed Enfamil and Similac may develop necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) a digestive tract disease that could have fatal consequences. Abbot Labs and Mead Johnson have failed to warn doctors or parents of the potentially deadly side effects of using their products, depriving all from making an informed decision as is their right. Even today, the companies refuse to accept responsibility for sickening premature babies, and parents and doctors may not suspect the worse until it occurs. By then, it may be too late. Lawsuits against the makers of the baby formula allege that infants have developed NEC after being force-fed Enfamil and Similac and that the companies failed to warn them of the dangers.

A premature baby's intestines are underdeveloped and more sensitive to being fed synthetic food like Enfamil and Similac. The heavy metal compounds in infant formulas may irritate and inflame the intestinal lining more than others and cause ulceration and infection. When bacteria enter through an ulcerated wound, digestion can be impaired, leaving the child unable to absorb nutrients from food. A premature baby may show signs of NEC by having diarrhea, abnormal breathing, or low blood pressure. Even if premature babies survive NEC, their physical and mental development may be stunted. Approximately one in four babies that are diagnosed with NEC die within a few days. Babies with NEC have their infant formula stopped immediately and given intravenous feeding through a tube inserted in the mouth. They are also started on antibiotics to combat any infection that may develop. If you are a parent of a child that has developed NEC you should speak with an NEC formula lawyer to see if you qualify for lump-sum monetary reimbursement and retribution. Your case may not go to trial, and the company could settle quickly out of court. Ask your hospital for a copy of your child's medical records to confirm what they were fed and when. If your baby was born prematurely and given Enfamil or Similac and developed NEC you could have a case."
