In a recent announcement, Abbott has initiated a voluntary recall of a limited number of ready-to-feed infant formula bottles due to improper sealing. Parents and caregivers are urged to check their supplies, as specific 2-ounce bottles of Similac may have defective caps or seals, which poses a risk to the contents.
The affected products, which include certain liquid feeding options for infants and children, represent less than 1 percent of the total bottles in circulation. These products were primarily distributed to hospitals, doctors’ offices, and select retailers across the U.S. and beyond. According to Abbott, this recall corresponds to less than one day’s worth of formula consumption in the U.S. and is not anticipated to disrupt the overall supply of infant formula in the country.
Abbott reassures consumers that production of Similac’s 2-ounce ready-to-feed formula will continue on a different production line for hospitals and healthcare providers. The company is committed to maintaining the availability of its products while rectifying these packaging concerns.
