Seven more children died after consuming baby formula produced at contaminated Abbott Labs factory in Michigan
According to newly released documents, nine children have died since 2021 after consuming powdered baby formula produced by Abbott Labs at its pediatric nutritionals factory in Sturgis, Michigan, seven more than had been previously acknowledged by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The document also revealed that consumers submitted to the FDA 25 complaints that were categorized as “life-threatening illness/injury” and 80 instances of “non-life-threatening illness/injury.”
The existence of the documents was reported in the Washington Post on Friday. The Post said that the FDA confirmed that it had received seven additional reports of children dying or being made sick after they drank formula made at the Sturgis factory.
Previously, the government regulatory agency and Abbott Labs had only revealed that four children became ill and two died from bacterial infections beginning in September 2021, and all of whom had consumed baby formula made at the Sturgis facility.
