President Joe Biden today invoked the Defense Production Act to speed production of infant formula and authorized flights to import supply from overseas.
Infant formula is stacked on a table during a baby formula drive to help with the shortage on Saturday in Houston.
“I know parents across the country are worried about finding enough formula to feed their babies,” Biden said in a video statement released by the White House. “As a parent and as a grandparent, I know just how stressful that is.” After getting the FDA’s OK, Abbott said it will take eight to ten weeks before new products begin arriving in stores. The company didn’t set a timeline to restart manufacturing.
The other measure, a $28 million emergency spending bill to boost resources at the Food and Drug Administration, is expected to have less bipartisan support and it’s unclear whether the Senate will take it up.
