PENSACOLA, Fla. — A Pensacola mother is suing baby formula maker Abbott for allegedly giving her daughter salmonella.<\/p>\n
Mother, Kelli Green, said the contaminated formula made her daughter sick and eventually led to her hospitalization with ear-related issues that her physicians could not treat as quickly because of the salmonella.<\/p>\n
The baby had symptoms like bloody stool, severe diaper rash, and loss of appetite.<\/p>\n
Green also says she found a “large, petrified bug” in a sealed formula container.<\/p>\n
Attorney Sam Geisler<\/a> with Aylstock, Witkin, Kries, and Overholtz<\/a> says Abbott didn’t show any regard for the vulnerable infants depending on its formula.<\/p>\n “This is a factory that was responsible for 50 percent of the WIC formula for this entire country,” Geisler said. “These are often working families and in many cases underprivileged babies. It’s just a stunning level of malfeasance.”<\/p>\n Geisler says the little girl ultimately had to go to the hospital for ear problems that got worse because the salmonella delayed treatment.<\/p>\n The law firm is now representing over a dozen families who say they’ve been affected by Abbott’s formula contamination.<\/p>\n There have been 129 consumer complaints about Abbott formula, including 25 alleging “life-threatening” illness or injury.<\/p>\n The FDA says two children have died, and they investigated seven additional deaths but could not identify the source of infection.<\/p>\n
