Abbott said it can restart production of its baby formulas at a plant in Michigan within two weeks if U.S. regulators allow it to do so. Two babies died and two more got sick after having been fed formula produced at the plant in Sturgis, Mich.
Abbott Laboratories ABT, -0.85% said it can restart production of its baby formulas at a plant in Michigan within two weeks if U.S. regulators allow it to do so.
Two babies died and two more got sick after having been fed formula produced at the plant in Sturgis, Mich. However, Abbott said in a statement on Wednesday that “there is no evidence to link our formulas to these infant illnesses,” and the genetic sequencing of samples from two ill infants did not match each other or the Cronobacter strains detected in the facility.
“We know the recall has worsened an already existing industrywide infant formula shortage in the U.S. and we’ve been seeing and hearing the stress and despair of parents who are facing empty shelves,” the company said. “We deeply regret the situation.” The company estimated that it will take between six to eight weeks to get products back on store shelves once it restarts production.
