Parents of babies and children who have suffered from baby formula side effects may be entitled to compensation through filing a baby formula lawsuit against Nutricia or another manufacturer. Deficient in absorbable phosphorus, Neocate baby formula has been found to result in skeletal deformities, spontaneous fractures, and rickets. Through no fault of their own, parents and caregivers have fed their children Neocate formula and put them at grave risk. Families whose child suffered from health problems and injuries traced to unsafe baby formula may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, pain, and damage by filing baby formula lawsuits.
Neocate formula is a form of medical nutrition for children who do not tolerate cow milk protein or other common foods, or who are unable to eat due to a medical condition. Sold by Nutricia, a subsidiary of Danone Group, Neocate products are the market leader for elemental formulas and are widely prescribed by United States doctors. However, a 2017 study from researchers at Yale and Mayo Clinic indicates Neocate results in nutritional deficits that cause injuries to young children. A troubling timeline indicates Nutricia officials were aware of the threat posed by their company’s line of baby formula products, yet failed to warn the public in order to protect sales:
2015: Nutricia receives first reports of broken bones and rickets from Neocate formula and repeatedly denies any link to its products.
2016: Nutricia issues a warning to physicians to monitor phosphorus levels in patients taking Neocate ands convenes an expert panel to study the matter
2017: Yale / Mayo Clinic study confirms Neocate link to broken bones and rickets.
2018: Nutricia quietly releases re-formulated Neocate products.
Throughout this time, the company maintained its marketing claims that Neocate “is hypoallergenic and nutritionally complete, supplying the same nutrition of a regular baby / toddler formula but with protein your child can tolerate.” Nutricia’s Neocate Parents Guide assured caregivers that, “with the right tools, resources, and nutrition products, special allergy diets can be healthy diets that keep your child safe and happy.”
Consumers have never been warned about the risk for baby formula side effects from Neocate, and families affected by Neocate side effects are now seeking compensation for damages.

Neocate lawsuits from around the country will likely be consolidated as multidistrict litigation (MDL), a legal procedure that permits the efficient processing of similar cases at once while still preserving the unique details of each case.
