What is NEC?

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening intestinal disease primarily affecting premature infants. At CollectiveClaim, we’ve seen how this devastating condition destroys families when caused by negligent formula companies.

Key facts about NEC:
✔ Attacks intestinal tissue in premature babies
✔ 20-30% mortality rate in severe cases
✔ Strongly linked to cow’s milk-based formulas

Link Between Baby Formula and NEC

CollectiveClaim is currently investigating cases where Similac and Enfamil caused NEC in vulnerable preemies.
