Our Texas baby formula lawyers file Similac and Enfamil lawsuits for premature infants diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Texas NEC lawsuits claim baby formula manufacturers failed to warn hospitals, doctors, nurses and parents about the risk to preemies.
As such, Texas newborns suffering intestinal injuries from baby formulas like Similac or Enfamil may be eligible to claim a cash settlement.
Texas NEC Lawyer Shows Similac/Enfamil’s Failure to Warn
Our team of Texas baby formula lawyers have represented thousands of victims of dangerous pharmaceutical products. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
Further, by raising awareness of the risk of NEC posed to Texas preemies by cow’s milk formula, we have helped change how many hospitals feed these vulnerable babies.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While compensation may be available to qualified baby formula claimants and impacted families, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim a Texas baby formula victim can make for NEC compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations. Click here for the latest information on the pending multi-district litigation.
Our Texas baby formula lawyers are available to review claims now. We offer a free case evaluation to confirm the use of a qualified cow’s milk formula and diagnosis of a related bowel injury. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.

Texas Similac/Enfamil Lawyers File NEC Cases Statewide
5th Circuit NEC Claims in Texas
Texas is part of the Fifth Circuit of the U.S. Courts system, and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals hears appeals. Texas baby formula lawyers can file individual NEC lawsuits at the 5th Circuit’s local U.S. District Court. However, these cases may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order.
Texas State NEC Claims
Texans also have the right to file baby formula lawsuits in the State’s county courts (TX Courts Website). The Texas Rules of Civil Procedure sets forth the State’s procedural law for bodily injury claims.
The State of Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. Accordingly, a Texas NEC lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by baby formula manufacturers provided the NEC victim is less than 51% at fault. However, the victim’s recovery is reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
In June 2025, the U.S. Department of Health ordered a review of baby formula ingredients. Click here to view the report published by KVUE ABC News Austin.
