Frequently-Asked Questions

How much does this cost?

There is no cost to complete the pre-qualification and eligibility steps. There are also no fees to work with the legal team if your case moves forward. The legal team is only compensated if they win compensation for your family — through a settlement or a successful verdict.

How do I know if my baby may qualify for an NEC claim?

Just answer a few questions in this confidential form to see if you may qualify. If your situation matches the criteria our trusted legal partners are looking for, a representative will typically reach out within 24–72 hours to discuss your case.

What can qualify for an NEC lawsuit related to baby formula?

Cases often involve:
•Premature babies
•Who were fed cow’s-milk-based formula (such as Enfamil® or Similac®)
•And later diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or related complications

Not every NEC diagnosis is eligible — but many families are surprised to learn they do qualify.

What if my child passed away due to NEC?

We are so sorry for your loss. Yes — families who lost a baby to NEC may qualify for legal action and financial support, depending on the details of their case.

What if I already have an attorney?

IIf you currently have legal representation or have already received a settlement, our legal partners are not able to assist.

Is this a class action lawsuit?

No. These cases are part of a mass tort litigation, not a class action.

Here’s the difference:
•Class action: one case represents a large group, and everyone receives the same result.
•Mass tort: each family has their own individual case, with a personalized outcome and potential compensation based on the specific injuries, medical treatment, and long-term impact on your child and family.

By joining this NEC litigation, your family’s experience is heard, and any compensation reflects your baby’s unique situation and needs.

Why Are Families Filing NEC Lawsuits?

Families across the country have filed lawsuits against major baby formula manufacturers — including the companies behind Enfamil® and Similac® — alleging they failed to warn parents and medical providers about the serious risks of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants.

These lawsuits claim that manufacturers:
•Knew or should have known that cow’s-milk-based formula can significantly increase the risk of NEC in premature babies
•Did not provide adequate warnings to parents and caregivers
•Continued to promote these products for use in NICUs despite the dangers

As a result, families were left unprepared for a life-threatening condition that can lead to emergency surgeries, lifelong disability, and even the tragic loss of a child.
