A $19.5 million class action settlement has been reached with Similac baby formula over claims of false advertising. Abbott Laboratories, the company behind Similac, has agreed to settle but denies any wrongdoing.
The lawsuit alleged that certain Similac infant formula labels misrepresented the volume of formula that could be produced. For example, if a label stated that a product could make a specific number of 4-ounce servings, it sometimes produced less than advertised.
Recent similar cases against other baby formula producers have also been settled, including Enfamil for $8.4 million and PBM Nutritionals for $2 million.
Consumers eligible for the Similac settlement include those who purchased specific Similac products between June 24, 2016, and September 22, 2022, in the United States. Eligible products include:
