Similac and Enfamil Baby Formula Associated with Potentially Fatal Intestinal Injury in Premature Babies

Similac and Enfamil Baby Formula Associated with Potentially Fatal Intestinal Injury in Premature Babies

Premature babies have special needs and deserve the best chance of survival and normal growth.  One of the life-threatening complications found in premature infants is necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).  It has been reported that premature infants have over a 300 percent increased chance of developing NEC if they were provided cow’s milk formulas because their digestive tracks are intolerant to cow milk enzymes.  NEC, a severe and potentially fatal inflammation of the intestinal tract, can cause the bowel to die, leading to the death of the infant.  For premature infants that are able to recover from NEC, developmental delay, growth, retardation, and intestinal problems can persist.

The manufacturers of Similac (Abbott) and Enfamil (Mead Johnson) have produced, marketed, and sold their cow milk-based baby formulas without any warning regarding the risk to premature infants.  The products involved include Similac Special Care, Similac Neosure, Enfamil NeuroPro, and Enfacare.  There are many non-cow milk alternatives that do not expose vulnerable premature infants to NEC which carries almost a 50% death rate.

Cellino Law will work to obtain compensation for infants born at up to 36 weeks of gestation who were fed cow’s milk formulas Similac or Enfamil and diagnosed with NEC.  The attorneys at Cellino Law are extensively experienced in representing our clients against medical, pharmaceutical, and over-the-counter product manufacturers that market products without adequate warning.  Call us today for a free consultation.

    • I just want to let you know that I did receive my settlement check. More importantly, I want to thank you again for all you did for both me and my family. I could not be more pleased with my experience at Cellino Law. From the moment I first spoke with you I felt comfortable - you took a sincere interest in my case, clearly explained the process and effected a quick settlement. From this day forward, when someone asks if I can recommend a good lawyer I will, without hesitation, say "Cellino Law". Thanks again.

    • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.

    • My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a fantastic job as our attorney. We could not have been more pleased with the work you and your team has done on this case. This past four years or so has been such a roller coaster for our family. We are very pleased and grateful with the result. We have made a good choice by choosing you. Thank you.

    • This letter is to thank Ms. Diane D’Andrea, assistant to Mr. George Gridelli, Attny for all the hard work, dedication, and attentiveness she showed during the representation of my case. She was always cheerful and ready to help in whatever way she could. All messages left for Mr. Gridelli were always relayed and Mr. Gridelli always promptly returned our calls. She was a very competent assistant. Cellino Law has proven to be a model of what legal representation should be. Throughout the 6 ½ years of this case, I have heard many horror stories from people with “bad lawyer stories.” We consider ourselves to be very lucky to have chosen Cellino Law and will always recommend you to those looking for good, honest representation with a personal touch.
