A class action lawsuit alleging deceptive business practices has been filed against Abbott Laboratories over claims that the pharmaceutical giant sold millions of tubs of infant powder formula that was contaminated with beetles and beetle larvae.
The lawsuit, which was brought in federal court in Chicago, was filed on behalf of a mother of a newborn baby boy. The suit alleges that Abbott knew that its baby formula was tainted for at least six days prior to announcing it to the public. As a result, the suit claims that the named plaintiff's son, like thousands of babies throughout the country, suffered gastrointestinal health issues as a result of ingesting the tainted formula.
