NEC OUTBREAK IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Investigating Infant Formula Claims
Our Law Firm is Investigating Cases of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) Linked to Infant Formula
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) has been reported in infants across South Carolina, leaving parents searching for answers. NEC is a
serious and life-threatening gastrointestinal disease that primarily affects premature babies. Research has linked certain cow’s milk-based infant formulas to an increased risk of NEC, yet formula manufacturers failed to warn parents and doctors.
About NEC (Necrotizing Enterocolitis)
What is NEC? (Necrotizing Enterocolitis)
NEC is a severe intestinal condition that causes inflammation, infection, and even tissue death in premature infants.
Symptoms may include:
Bloated or swollen abdomen
Feeding intolerance
Blood in stool
Lethargy or difficulty breathing
Vomiting green or yellow bile
Note: Many infants diagnosed with NEC require emergency surgery and, tragically, some do not survive.
How is Infant Formula Linked to NEC?
Medical studies have shown that premature infants fed cow’s milk-based formulas such as Similac and Enfamil are at significantly higher risk of developing NEC compared to those fed breast milk or human milk-based fortifiers. Despite this, formula manufacturers did not provide adequate warnings about these dangers.
