Abbott's baby formula recall has been expanded to include a lot of Similac PM 60/40. The FDA said a second infant died of Cronobacter sakazakii.
The previously recalled formulas were also produced at the Michigan facility. The lot of Similac PM 60/40 was distributed to the U.S. and Israel.
Abbott said in an update Monday that in addition to the other formula recalled it was recalling Lot # 27032K80 / Lot # 27032K800 of Similac PM 60/40 after learning of the baby's death. The FDA said its investigation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now includes four reports of Cronobacter sakazakii infections in infants and one complaint of a Salmonella Newport infection. All of the babies were hospitalized and Cronobacter may have contributed to death in two patients.
