I heard today from a woman whose newborn child developed a serious gastrointestinal illness. Her child’s doctors are unsure of the cause, though they suspect it could be caused by a milk allergy. The woman is concerned that the formula she fed her son may be the cause since the formula was subsequently recalled because it had beetles and larvae in it. The FDA has warned that the insect impurities could cause gastrointestinal problems. She wants to know if she might have a case against the formula manufacturer for a defective product.
