Similac recall lawsuits are being filed around the country after Abbott Laboratories announced in February a recall of all Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare powdered infant formula products manufactured at the company’s plant in Sturgis, Michigan. Similac PM 60/40 has now also been recalled after a baby exposed to this powdered baby formula died.

Our lawyers are pursuing Similac recall lawsuits in all 50 states.  When the Similac recall was announced, our attorneys were under the impression there would be a handful of serious injury and wrongful death cases from this recall.

In my mind, the biggest update in the Roundup lawsuit is that their expected settlement value keeps rising.  Here is what else is happening.
