Jurney De La Grana Files Federal Class Action Against Abbott Laboratories
On February 17, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) announced it was investigating consumer complaints of Cronobacter and Salmonella infections related to ingestion of certain Similac, Alimentum and EleCare infant formula. Our firm filed a first of its type federal class action intended to hold Abbott Laboratories accountable for illness caused by their failures.
For many infants, formula is the sole source of nutrition. Parents who entrust the nutritional wellbeing of their babies to formula manufacturers should not have to worry about infant formula being contaminated with dangerous pathogens. Unfortunately, this most recent incident involving tainted infant formula has impacted many babies. This is unacceptable.
