Abbott Labs recalls Similac baby formula

[Nueroactive]

If you convince the majority of mothers to go to work and leave their newborns to be bottle fed you ensure a profit for your pharmaceutical company by dependence upon formula and then after by medicines to children who do not get the vital nutrients and immunities from breast milk. Survival of the fittest isn't store bought! How about fight the war at home to keep the family safe? What is this mental vaccination program to get people away from what is natural for their profit?

Seriously!?!?  I only just saw this!? I wonder if I have a lawsuit against this company... watch my video, my son went to the ER after drinking this stuff!

[misterdrum78]

This is unbelievable.  The facilities where this stuff was produced should have been better inspected. I bet that the facilities has open pathways from open air that led into where this product was made. This is a major issue with many production plants, no matter what is made. Sometimes, you have plants that do not have ventilation to cool people during the summers, and garage doors/other doors are opened to cool down the warehouse. Big problem. Allows insects, rodents, birds to enter in!!

You'll never see a recall on breastmilk!!!!

(And it is possible to lactate without ever having been pregnant, even men can lactate with the proper herbs and actions taken)

[vandykeification]

Thanks for your comments about breast feeding. My son is adopted so I can't breast feed. If you want to be hateful go somewhere else.

Perhaps president Hussein will nationalize them now.

Since I put my daughter (4 months) on Similac she's been farting, :(

[applebottomjeans16]

I agree!! I was doing the best thing for my baby by breastfeeding him but when he hit a growth spurt and was feeding ALL THE TIME I started him on similac. I'M PISSED!! BUG PARTS? YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! This news makes me physically sick. How could they let this happen??

[scheemadruci]

my daughter was born in may of this year and we started her out on this powder similac shit. same exact syptoms as stated in this report. upset stomach and digestive problems. diarreah. these assholes need to be held accountable. but we all know they wont.

[UnconcernedCitizen]

Made in China?

[EvfLine]

ridiculous 

[IHateRozzyTV]

I took my baby to the doctor 3 times they changed her milk to another similac and they are recalled as well. A little stomach discomfort my ass. My baby had the runs one minute then constipated the next along with being fussy and the doctor has been trying to figure out why for 3 months now!! I have 3 cans on the recalled list according to the similac website. please take note!!! 85458rb, & 88195rb6. I am so pissed!!!! they just realized they had bugs come on!!!!

[misterdrum78]

@IHateRozzyTV open pathways into the warehouses may be to blame. Open garage doors, open entrance doors, a common poor alternative for a cooling system to be installed in the warehouses...they will charge an arm and a leg for this stuff, but invest little in protecting their facilities and the babies who are drinking this stuff. This is just a thought, and a possibility, not necessarily the answer.

[flowertanovic]

I'm done with similac! There is NO room for error when it come to "our" children! I expect only the best when I pay those prices!!! Shame on them cutting corners!!!

[virtusmagna]

@flowertanovic If you want only the best you should breastfeed.

[flowertanovic]

@virtusmagna We don't breastfeed because we don't want to, it's because the milk stopped at 1 month and the only other option was to continue on formula!

[misterdrum78]

@flowertanovic yeah, but who really knows if Enfamil's facilities WERE any better....I can tell you this, I bet Enfamil had a fire lit beneath them to go through their facilites very closely right after it all went down with Similac problem. That's how industry works. Whether Enfamil is really better, we may never know, and they may have just gotten lucky. Either way, it's a disgrace.

[brandonGCHACHU]

I just opened a fresh can on Similac that WASNT on the recall list and found a mealworm in it! That tells me that it was probably old formula or been sitting in a warehouse forever before it was even packaged. Fuck Similac. My 5 year old was raised on Enfamil Lipil and it worked just fine and was cheaper.

[raficus2]

This is BS and I am writing my representative, Abbott and the major retailers knew about it because I've had the hardest time finding NeoSure (for premies) formula for the last 3 weeks. I actually had to try multiple cities in order to get a few cans. This past Monday a new can label/presentation was rolled out, ahead of the recall, how convenient !!!

[lilliana061880]

Lot #s 88164T20 and 88115T21 are being recalled too. They were bought from Target and other ones straight from the company.

[LinnieB]

I cant even log onto the page through thier website to get the list of recalled formula. The similac.com/recall/lookup page is down! Nor can you get through on the phone, if it doesnt ring busy, a voice comes on telling you to call back because of high volume calls or go to the website, then hangs up on you! Where do they think i got the number to call?

very irresponsible fot Abbot to do a recall and not be preparred to handle the volume of customers concerned!

[Tasiab23]

I have been try all morning too and nothing, Minnesota

[AFarCryDistantMemory]

jew motherfuckers!

[vute81]

@virtusmagna - I'm sorry but you are dumb. There have been thousands of parents reporting that there children have been increasingly fussy and refusing the bottle, not to mention extreme crying...I feel sorry for your ignorance

[virtusmagna]

I'm not returning ours. There are insects in all of your food. So what? It doesn't hurt anyone. Similac was just being ignorant here.

[lunarain19]

@virtusmagna It can cause digestive problems.
