Abbott agrees to settlement over closure of largest baby formula plant in the US
Abbott Laboratories will pay $385 million to resolve claims tied to an investigation of contamination at a baby formula factory in Sturgis, Michigan, the largest in the country, which led to the supply shortages in 2022.
Problems at the facility prompted a lawsuit by the Justice Department and recall of powdered infant formula at the facility.
The recall covered several infant formula brands, including Similac, and squeezed inventory that had already been strained by supply chain disruptions and stockpiling during COVID-19 shutdowns.
