About the Enfamil Class Action
Enfamil formula from Mead Johnson is very common in the U.S. and is a popular choice for many parents. Recently, the company was hit with a class action lawsuit over allegations that certain products were misleading about the total number of prepared bottles or servings they could make. Of course, the company does not admit these allegations, but it has agreed going forward to state this information more accurately. To avoid further impact and ongoing litigation, it agreed to a settlement.
The lawsuit claims that Mead Johnson & Company, LLC (the maker of Enfamil brand Products) (“Defendant”) deceptively packaged and labeled certain Enfamil brand formula Products as being able to make a specific number of liquid ounce bottles of formula. Mead Johnson denies these allegations and asserts that its Labeling and marketing is truthful but has settled this case to avoid further litigation and distraction of resources from its business.
