Personal Injury

Lieff Cabraser is investigating reports of infants injured after consuming Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula alledgedly contaminated with the bacteria that produce the Botulism toxin. Officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have directed parents to immediately stop giving the formula to their children, and that unopened cans should be returned or thrown away.

The three reported affected infants, ranging from 2 months to 5 months of age, were hospitalized and treated, and no deaths have been reported.

Parents should quickly seek medical care for an infant who has difficulty swallowing, poor feeding, loss of head control or decreased facial expression, the CDC said. Other symptoms include constipation, drooping eyelids, sluggish pupils and a weak cry. Because symptoms of infant botulism can take several weeks to begin, officials said, parents of children who have consumed the formula should monitor their child for signs for a month after the product was last consumed.

Nara Organics formula is sold online and at Target stores. The affected infants were from California, Pennsylvania and Washington.

If your infant has shown any signs of sickness or injury that you believe may be related to consumption of Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Infant Formula, you are invited to contact an infant injury lawyer at Lieff Cabraser for a full explanation of your rights and recovery options.
