Key baby formula manufacturing plant in Michigan was forced to to halt production earlier this week due to a storm, the plant’s owner says.
In a statement Wednesday, the company said it stopped production of EleCare after a torrential storms overwhelmed the city's stormwater system and flooded parts of the plant.
The company estimated production and distribution would be delayed for a few weeks until the damage is assessed and the facility is cleaned and sanitized. Abbott said it had"ample existing supply" of EleCare and other formulas to meet demand. The company said it has produced 8.7 million pounds of infant formula in June, or 95 percent of what it made in January, the month before the federal investigation that shut down production at the Sturgis plant.
The probe came after the deaths of two infants and reports of illnesses among other children who consumed Abbott formula. The company has said there was no evidence linking its products to the deaths or illnesses.
