Abbott engaged in scheme to maximize profits, while concealing problems with Similac formula causing infant illnesses and deaths, according to investors
FDA inspectors saw signs of problems which led to Similac food poisoning illnesses months before an Abbott baby formula recall was announced.
Reports of Similac salmonella poisoning led to a massive recall earlier this year, leading to lawsuits against Abbott for distributing contaminated infant formula
Researchers warn of increased health risks for low birth weight and premature infants fed formula like Similac or Enfamil, instead of human milk.
Abbott and Mead Johnson put preemies at risk of long-term NEC complications without warning parents or healthcare providers about the risks of cow's milk based formula, according to the lawsuit.

Lawsuits allege that contaminated Similac, Alimentum and EleCare formula recalled earlier this year caused thousands of infant illnesses and deaths.
Delaying the Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare formula recall for months placed infants at risk of developing severe and life threatening infections from Salmonella Newport and Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria, the lawsuit claims.
There is no need to feed infant formula to babies if they can be fed human milk instead, according to pediatricians
