Abbott Laboratories was slapped with a consumer class action Sunday in Florida Southern District Court over its Similac, Alimentum and EleCare brand baby formula. The suit, brought by the Schlesinger Law Offices, contends that the product’s labeling falsely suggests that the formulas contain safe ingredients for infants when they in fact contain salmonella and cronobacter sakazakii, pathogenic bacterium, that are known to cause bacterial infections, gastrointestinal illnesses and other serious health problems. Counsel have not yet appeared for the defendant. The case is 1:22-cv-20516, Ephraim et al.
