Our Mission
At The Infant Formula Institute, our sole mission is to support families whose preterm babies have suffered due to being fed infant formula based on cow’s milk. We understand the profound impact necrotizing enterocolitis (“NEC”) can have on a newborn and their family, and we strive to assist in finding top legal representation to hold the two manufacturers (Abbot Laboratories and Mead Johnson) accountable. Our goal is to ensure that families receive the compensation they deserve without incurring any upfront legal costs.
Who We Are
We are a dedicated organization committed to advocating for the health and safety of preterm infants. In part, our mission is to raise awareness about the dangers of cow’s milk-based infant formula, particularly for preterm babies whose internal organs may not be fully developed. Our team consists of experienced professionals who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of affected families.
NEC
One of the most serious risks associated with cow’s milk-based formula is necrotizing enterocolitis (“NEC”). NEC is a devastating disease that causes inflammation and bacterial infection in the intestines, which can lead to tissue death and, in severe cases, require surgery or even result in death. Preterm infants are particularly vulnerable to NEC due to their underdeveloped digestive systems. The link between cow’s milk-based formula and NEC has been well-documented, making it crucial for parents to be informed about the potential dangers.
Our Services
At The Infant Formula Institute, we provide comprehensive support to families affected by NEC. Our services include:
- Legal Assistance — We connect families with top law firms that specialize in NEC cases. These firms work on a pure contingency fee basis, meaning families do not pay any legal fees until a settlement is reached. This ensures that all families, regardless of their financial situation, have access to high-quality legal representation.
- Education and Awareness — We are committed to educating parents, healthcare providers, and the public about the risks of cow’s milk-based formula. Through our website, social media, and community outreach programs, we provide up-to-date information on infant nutrition and NEC prevention.
- Advocacy — We advocate for stronger regulations and better labeling of infant formula products. Our goal is to ensure that parents have the information they need to make informed decisions about their baby’s nutrition.
