NEC Baby Formula Lawsuits

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease that primarily infects the intestine of premature infants. NEC typically develops in premature infants who are being fed with cow-based formula as opposed to breast milk. The wall of the intestine is overrun with bacteria, which leads to infection and inflammation that can ultimately destroy the intestinal wall. Such destruction to the intestine can lead to perforation of the intestine and leaking of stool into the infant’s abdomen, which can result in severe infection and potentially death.
