Before the jury was sent to consider punitive damages, Abbott attorney James Hurst said that the verdict risks sending the wrong message and limiting doctors' options for feeding preterm infants who cannot breastfeed.
If fining someone for making a concoction of poison to feed the infant is called "wrong message", then i kinda wonder what their right message are.
Pray tell, what poison was present in the formula?
Illinois resident Margo Gill, who brought the case against Abbott, alleged that the company failed to warn that its formula could cause a potentially deadly disease called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature babies.
Maybe go ask what Abbott put in their formula that will increase the risk of contracting this disease, and why the parent of the patient aren't being told of this
It's more accurate to say that the formula failed to prevent NEC.
https://necsociety.org/nec-society-statement-on-lawsuits/
For babies at risk of NEC, mother’s own milk provides the most protection against NEC. [...] If mother’s own milk is not available, then pasteurized donor breast milk is the next safest option for infants at risk of NEC. [...] Sometimes, formula is necessary and chosen by the baby’s care team as the best available plan of care.
For a moment there I thought it had something to do with the little piss baby.
Greg Abbott??? No?.... Damn.
