ST LOUIS, July 27 — A jury on Friday found that Abbott Laboratories’ specialised formula for premature infants caused an Illinois girl to develop a dangerous bowel disease,...
Zayn Rayyan case: Parents of autistic boy seek gag order on five TikTok accounts for live broadcast videos on caseIllinois resident Margo Gill, who brought the case against Abbott, alleged that the company failed to warn that its formula could cause a potentially deadly disease called necrotising enterocolitis in premature babies. The jury awarded her US$95 million in compensatory damages and US$400 million in punitive damages.
The jury verdict was not unanimous, and was supported by 9 of the 12 jurors in the case. To return a verdict in a civil case in Missouri, three-fourths of jurors must agree. NEC, which causes the death of bowel tissue, mostly affects premature newborns and has a fatality rate of between 15 per cent and 40 per cent. Gill’s child, Robynn Davis, who developed NEC after being given Abbott premature infant formula while in a neonatal intensive care unit in 2021, survived, but suffered irreversible neurological damage because of her illness and will require long-term care.
The lawsuits claim that the companies did not warn doctors that infants receiving formula have a greater risk of NEC compared to infants who are breast-fed or given donor milk or human milk-derived formula. Reckitt, like Abbott, has denied the claims.
