Kaveny Sarmas Injury Lawyers has a vested interest in the start of the Inman case v. Mead Johnson & Company (baby formula case). We are NEC lawyers seeking compensation for the loss of our many clients who either lost their infants to NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) or had infants with significant NEC injuries due to baby formulas manufactured by Abbott and Mead Johnson & Company.

We are anxiously watching the start of the high stakes Inman trial over the next few weeks. Per a Memorandum Opinion and Order (Alexis Inman v. Mead Johnson & Company, LLC, et al. Case No. 22 C 3737), one month after his premature birth, Plaintiff Alexis Inman’s infant son, Daniel Windley, was fed a preterm infant formula product manufactured by Defendant Mead Johnson & Company (“MJC”). Daniel developed necrotizing enterocolitis (“NEC”) and died shortly thereafter. Ms. Inman sued MJC, arguing that the formula caused Daniel to develop NEC. This case, and hundreds of others, have been consolidated by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation for pretrial proceedings, and the parties selected it as part of an initial wave of four “bellwether” trials.
