Infant Formula Recall 2010: Similac Recall From Abbott Labs

my daughter has been sick for the last few weeks...took her to the doctor this week and they thought it was just the flu ...i asked them about this and they said that all of the bottles have been removed, yet i have the bottles sitting in front of me.  my doctor is obviously a quack and has no clue what she is doingi am now moving over to enfamil off of the similac sensitive rs formula (ID 85261T2)abbott and similac should be held liable for this.  its not adults who suffered , its small infants who may just experience GI problems for their lives to come.  i am going to a lawyer this week to find out what is going on

We have five containers. that is recall that means our baby has been haveing this right after another, and has been crying so bad it is so sad that we been giveing the babys this i went back to wal mart to return the formula thay was given me a hard time. i just left. some one has to pay for all of this let me know what you find out what we can to. thanks  Barb        

well, at first i get similac ( that the recall can) for my baby boy, he was sick then i took him to the doctor and they give me enfamil with iron for my baby to eat... thats formula is good for him and he has no problem. but if you are in the WIC Program in Minnesota, they won't provide you with enfamil.

i have a 3 mo old little girl that is usally very happy never cryed really nor fused, and sshe has been crying non stop ,have had poop like so watery and mass to where you wouldnt think that much was able for her size. gas very bad  we live in p.a washington and i have try returning the similac advance to where i got it and they wont take them back because i didnt have any recites now what do i do i have 13 full un opened cans which i cant return even though they were all pulled off the shelves. anyone tell me what i am post to do now that forula isnt cheep thanks

Oh and the best part is the website isn't working so you can't even check.

The websites have been down and the phone has been unreachable for the past 3 hours!  How can we verify if our Similic formula is affected when Abbott can't even provide a working website??  I have now 6 containers of Similac and a hungry baby!!  No wonder my baby has been crying nonstop the past few nights, maybe it's this.  But, I'd like to verify this. 

the website where you look up the lot number is not working can anyone tell me how to know if i have a bad can??

Could you pls let us know the symptoms?  For the past few days, my baby has been crying hysterically, like in pain!  and there were days when she would eat less than usual.   Thank you.  I hope your baby is much better.

is advanced one of the ones with the bettle?

How am I suppose to verify if my daughter's formula is infected or not if the number and website doesn't work. This is a loud of crap and Similac is asking for a BIG LAWSUIT!

of course now the website is down and the phone is busy.  

Just remember that these products are not involved include all Abbott Nutrition liquid ready-to-feed and concentrated infant formulas and all powder and liquid specialty formulas, including Similac Expert Care, Alimentum, Elecare, Similac Expert Care Neosure, Similac Human Milk Fortifier and metabolic formulas for inherited disorders. Because im a mother of premie baby, and i just got this because I am very relieved!!

The recall is for all powder Similac formula none of the liquids. with the lot number of the recalled product problem is the website is down because of all the worried parents trying to find out if their child's formula was recalled and their phone lines are all busy. I also cannot find the lot number anywhere else not even on news sites.

Infant has high fever and has had all test but no one can figure out what is wrong could this be related?

I just got thru on the phone Smilac Advanced number 90404T20 is recalled. I have been feeding my baby this for a month, she is been fussy for a while now, we thought it was teeth!

I'm writting on the behalf of my 3mo old daughter . She has been consuming Similac Sensitive Fussiness and Gas since she was two weeks old ,She has consumed atleast 12 containers which is 166 fl oz per container .I can only imagine how much bettle larva she has consumed.. !!!!!! Im EXTREMELY UPSET about this .It explains why her tummy has been hurting so much .Her hours of screaming and discomfort night upon night  .And this evening after reading about the recall .I go to Jewel Grocery store to get her started on a different formula because obviously the container she has been eating the lot number was recalled along with the rest .They still have Similac Sensitive on the shelves ,very distubing to see it sitting on the shelf still  .

All 4 cans of my babies have been recalled this is horrible.  Numbers are: 89253t20 89254t20 88138t20

here are two lot numbers that are defected...90372T20  AND 90336T20 ...Its on the bottom of the container the first numbers on the left.

ya i kmow its crap how we suposta know if the formula we have is tanted

ya i kmow its crap how we suposta know if the formula we have is tanted

ok this is really ridiculous... how are we supposed to know which cans have been recalled?!?!?! My daughter has been drinking it all day and she has been acting fine but i still would like to know if i have one of the infected cans. also, they say that a beetle infestation isnt a health risk? I think that is BULL! Similac is gonna have a field day with this one huh? I wouldnt be surprised if they have a lawsuit against them for this. 

Courtvin, I'm with you. It's true -- some people have no choice and they should not be made to feel bad for having to use formula. There are all kinds of breastfeeding support groups while people that are unable to breastfeed are left to struggle on their own with looking the other way every time someone tells them "breast is best" or whatever else. It's ridiculous. We are all just trying to give our children a healthy, happy life.

Amen!  I am so sick of those who are able to breastfeed lashing out at those who cannot and have no choice!

To the people making comments about breast feeding; yes it is a wonderful thing, however, this situation does not pertain to breast feeding. Some people cannot breast feed but may have wanted to so are sensitive (or choose not to & they have that right be respectful of that). If you have nothing to add then don't bother commenting, there are people on here ligitamently concerned for their babies health & some people have down right been through alot. Nobody needs judgement especially at a time like this & until you've walked a mile in somebody elses shoes don't comment. I formula feed, that was not my plans but it was also not my plans to undergo two emergency surgeries when my baby was only 4 months old and be hospitalized for a week- flexability is a must in parenting you my as well learn that now. I pray for all those affected & hope all the babies struck ill by this recovery quickly. 

how did u find out which ones have been recalled???

My baby threw a huge fit the other night and has never done so before and has been spitting up A LOT more the last couple days.. his stool is MUCH different than normal and I even got the chance to check his formula before the website went down and it said that his wasnt recalled.. Is it really accurate anyways??

yes. all advance products in the plastic containers and cans have been recalled according to my Target. Take your formula back to where you bought it, they will give you a refund.

My son was hospitalized for 4 days when he was just a few weeks old for fussiness, diarrhea, and severely excessive spit up. He was losing weight and marked as failure to thrive. My son had to have a barium swallow and the doctor said he does not have reflux. There was no known reason for him to be sick. They did many tests. We switched him to Alimentium and after about a week he finally started gaining and feeling better. He was on similac sensitive. It is very scary that we have to worry about things like bugs in our childrens milk. I have an unopened can of similac advance that we got from the hospital when he was born (june 2010) that is included in the recall. I can only imagine how many babies have had to suffer because of this!

I am very concerned and ticked off right now after hearing about this. I have trusted you guys since my daughter was born. For the last two weeks she has done nothing but fuss and refuse to eat. I am trying to call or look on the website for the lot numbers and I CANNOT get through to either. This is absolutely ridiculous and I couldnt express it more !!!!!!!!!!!!
