Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal condition that threatens the lives of premature infants. Each year, around 9,000 preemies in the U.S. are diagnosed with NEC, and tragically, up to 50% do not survive.
Research dating back to the 1990s has revealed that cow’s milk-based formulas like Enfamil and Similac may increase the risk of NEC in premature babies by up to ten times. Despite this, formula manufacturers have not issued warnings to caregivers and continue to aggressively market these products.
Was your premature baby fed cow’s milk formula and diagnosed with NEC? You might be entitled to significant compensation. Time is of the essence —reach out for a free case evaluation today.

- Trouble feeding
- A tender, swollen, or discolored belly
- Vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea
- Blockages or holes in the bowel
- Blood poisoning

THE SIXTY MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION
The average family can face a staggering $400,000 to $500,000 in medical bills for NEC cases that require surgery. This doesn't even include the ongoing costs of managing lifelong complications from NEC or the overwhelming emotional pain and suffering that parents endure when their child is diagnosed with this devastating condition.
How much should formula manufacturers be held accountable for the pain they've caused families?
A jury in St. Clair, Illinois, answered that question decisively in the case of Keller Postman client Jasmine Watson, awarding her an unprecedented $60,000,000. We proved that Enfamil was responsible for her son's NEC diagnosis and his heartbreaking passing.
No amount of money can ever replace a child. But we’re fighting tirelessly against Mead Johnson and other formula makers to secure the compensation that parents so desperately need to support their families through this difficult journey. Thousands of mothers, fathers, and caregivers have placed their trust in us to seek justice.
If you believe you qualify for a claim, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills—past and future—as well as for your pain and suffering. We won’t rest until we’ve fought for the fair recovery you deserve.
