I’m a single mom. My son had NEC surgery after being fed cow’s milk formula in the hospital. I honestly didn’t think I had the energy or resources to file a lawsuit. But Noble Tort made it easy to understand. They were honest, clear, and kind. I sent them my records, and they did the rest.

My daughter was born at 30 weeks and spent two months in the NICU. She was fed Enfamil because we were told it was safe. At three weeks old, she developed NEC. It was terrifying. Nobody ever mentioned the formula could be a risk. Noble Tort walked us through everything.

Our daughter survived NEC, but she still struggles. Her digestive issues haven’t gone away, and we’ve spent so much time in and out of specialists’ offices. It’s exhausting. I didn’t even know there was a baby formula lawsuit until a friend forwarded me an article. Noble Tort is helping us build a case and finally get some closure.

After my baby girl’s NEC diagnosis, I went down a rabbit hole of guilt and confusion. I blamed myself. Finding out it might have been the cow’s milk baby formula broke me. When I contacted Noble Tort, they believed me. They explained what was happening in the MDL, what my rights were, and what kind of evidence I needed.

What is the NEC
Lawsuit about?

The NEC baby formula lawsuit involves legal claims against the makers of Similac and Enfamil, two cow’s milk-based formulas widely given to premature infants. Research shows these products may significantly increase the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious and potentially fatal intestinal disease. Parents allege that manufacturers failed to warn about this risk, even as babies suffered severe injuries or died.

The lawsuits aim to hold these companies accountable and help families recover compensation for medical bills, long-term care, and loss.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need proof that my baby was fed Similac or Enfamil?

Yes. Medical records, NICU feeding logs, or hospital discharge summaries that show your child was given Similac or Enfamil help support your case. If you have formula packaging or receipts, those can also be useful, but aren’t always required.

What if my baby had NEC but survived, can I still file a claim?

Absolutely. You do not have to experience a loss to qualify. If your child survived NEC but required surgery, had lasting complications, or needed extended care, you may still be eligible for compensation.

Who qualifies to file an NEC baby formula lawsuit?

You may qualify if your child was born prematurely or underweight, was fed Similac or Enfamil in the hospital or NICU, and was later diagnosed with NEC. A lawyer can review your records to confirm eligibility.

What compensation can families receive?

Families may be eligible for compensation covering medical bills, long-term care, pain and suffering, funeral costs (if applicable), and more. Each case is different, and settlement or verdict amounts vary based on the injury.

Is there a deadline to file a claim?

Yes. NEC lawsuits must be filed within your state’s statute of limitations, often 1 to 3 years from when you knew or should have known about the connection between the formula and NEC. Don’t wait to act.

What’s the current status of the NEC lawsuits?

Hundreds of cases are part of a federal multidistrict litigation (MDL 3026). Judges have allowed expert medical testimony, and some state courts have already awarded major verdicts. More trials are scheduled for 2025, and new claims are still being accepted.
