Neocate is a specialized formula used to treat infants who are allergic to other types of infant nutrition, including those with milk-based and soy-based allergies. Sadly, it has been linked to serious health risks, including bone fractures and rickets, which has resulted in a number of Neocate lawsuits. If your child regularly ingested Neocate and has experienced bone health complications, you may be entitled to compensation.
Neocate and Nutricia
Neocate is manufactured by Nutricia, which is a medical nutrition company that specializes in therapeutic food and infant formula.
According to the official website, “Neocate has pioneered the industry by introducing a variety of new formula forms, flavors, products, and customer support options to meet the many needs of infants, toddlers, children, and adults.” It advertises unique formulas and specifically offers “Nutritionally complete, ready-to-drink amino acid-based formulas.”
“We’re committed to providing best-in-class products that are driven by science, guided by research, and dedicated to children,” the site notes.
Neocate Complications
Unfortunately, a 2017 study linked Neocate to a range of bone diseases, leading to some parents choosing to file a Neocate lawsuit.
Some Neocate common side effects include changes in the color or frequency of bowel movements, as well as changes in stool consistency. But the potential long-term effects can be much more serious.
Studies have shown that children who were fed Neocate may suffer from hypophosphatemia, a condition that causes dangerously low phosphate levels, weakening bones and leading to growth issues. Other severe complications may include bone fractures, rickets, and more.
