Abbott Was Alerted to Formula Plant Problems in February 2021

HeadlineJun 10, 2022

The Wall Street Journal reports Abbott Laboratories was alerted to problems at one of its infant formula plants months earlier than previously known. The journal reports an Abbott employee filed a complaint of failing equipment in need of repair and potentially unsafe formula back in February 2021. That’s a full eight months before another complaint was filed by the same person in October 2021, and a full year before the plant was shut down in February 2022. Abbott recently restarted production of some of its infant formulas at its Sturgis, Michigan, plant.
