A Louisiana mother whose infant son died in Colorado is suing formula manufacturers, arguing they failed to adequately warn of increased risk of a severe intestinal condition, though doctors have known about that link for over a decade.

Abbott produces Similac formula, among other types, and Mead Johnson manufactures Enfamil.large formula recall
The baby, called S.A. in the lawsuit, was born in early February 2021 at Children’s Hospital Colorado at 34 weeks and died in mid-June 2021. Patton-Ashley alleges she wasn’t warned of an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis associated with using formula and would have obtained donated breast milk if she had known, instead of using the formulas recommended by a doctor.
