How We Can Help
Providing the Legal Help You Need
Manufacturers of infant formula have knowingly used dangerous ingredients in their products for decades without notifying parents of the potential dangers. Decades of research across multiple studies have produced probable connections between cows' milk-based formula and Necrotizing Enterocolitis. Now is the time to hold the manufacturers accountable.
The Guardian Legal Network can connect qualified claimants to attorneys ready and willing to represent their cases. Call or complete our no-cost claim review today. Don’t wait to pursue the justice you deserve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Possibly, SBS and other GI injuries are part of this litigation, so we recommend you fill out the form above, and we will contact you within 24 hours to verify your eligibility.
Overall, NEC affects one in 2,000 to 4,000 births (approx. 9000 infants a year), or between one percent and five percent of neonatal intensive care unit admissions. The disease occurs in nearly 10 percent of premature infants but is rare in full-term infants.
No, this is a mass tort litigation. Instead of manufacturers being held accountable for breaking the law, like in a class action suit, mass torts are where an individual or individuals holds another group accountable for their actions.
Victims of NEC are holding manufacturers of infant formula accountable for their negligence in failing to warn consumers about the potential health risks of their products.
Complete our no-cost claim review today. After completing the eligibility form, either through our 24/7 call center or online, you will be contacted in 24 hours should you qualify. You will be connected to an attorney experienced in product liability cases afterward.

What is Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)?
Background & Research
Necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC, is a serious disease that affects the intestines of premature infants. It typically happens within the first 2 weeks of life in babies who are fed formula instead of breast milk.
The wall of the intestine becomes affected by bacteria, which often leads to infection and inflammation, weakening the walls of the intestines. This can create a crack or gap that allows germs to leak into the abdomen. If left untreated, NEC can lead to a serious infection and even death.
The infection that develops as a result of NEC frequently requires surgery. This can lead to further gastrointestinal diagnoses or injuries, including but not limited to Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS). Short Bowel Syndrome occurs when parts of the intestine are surgically removed, leading to decreased nutrient absorption, and putting the infant at further risk.
Formula Should Nourish Your Baby, Not Cause Serious Health Issues
If your infant was diagnosed with NEC (Necrotizing Enterocolitis), you may be able to file a claim for potential compensation.
The Connection Between NEC and Infant Formula
Background & Research
Studies have linked NEC to the use of certain infant formulas derived from cow milk. In a 1990 study, scientists found that in exclusively formula-fed babies, NEC was 6-10 times more common than in those fed breast milk alone and three times more common in those who received formula plus breast milk.
In 2011, Johns Hopkins Medical Institution found that extremely premature babies fed human donor milk were less likely to develop NEC than those fed a standard premature infant formula derived from cow’s milk.
Infant formula manufacturers are now facing hundreds of infant formula NEC lawsuits, with plaintiffs alleging the manufacturers failed to provide adequate warnings about the risk of NEC. Manufacturers of infant formula need to warn parents about the potentially deadly effects of their cow milk-derived formulas. Take action now to help assure more children aren’t hurt by the manufacturers’ negligence.

This is a Mass Tort, Not a Class Action
What's the difference?
In a mass tort, victims are treated as individuals and the specific merits of each claim are taken into consideration. In a class action, every victim has a similar injury and is treated identically.
The benefit of mass tort litigation is that plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations which ultimately lead to significantly greater payouts compared to class actions.
- Settlements and payouts tend to be significantly higher compared to class action awards
- Plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations
