Abbott Labs recalls Similac baby formula

The voluntary action affects less than 5 million Similac-brand powder formulas sold in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and some Caribbean countries. The company said the products may contain a small beetle or larvae, which could cause stomach ache and digestion problems.

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!!!!

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!

@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.

@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.

[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.

[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!

[TylerNull]

Perhaps president Hussein will nationalize them now.

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