Infant Formula Recall
Texas Parents Beware: Dangerous Infant Formula Recalled Statewide
Families across Texas are being urged to check their pantries after the FDA announced a sweeping infant formula recall. The affected products, sold under the Crecelac and Farmalac brands, were distributed throughout the state and failed to meet essential nutritional and labeling standards required by federal law. If your child consumed this formula, it’s critical to understand the risks and your legal rights.
This recall shines a light on an alarming failure of oversight that could seriously impact children’s health. At Alonso Krangle, LLP, we are reviewing cases involving infants who may have been harmed by this formula. If your baby experienced health issues after using any of the recalled formula, contact us at 800-403-6191 to discuss your legal options.
Which Baby Formulas Are Included in the Recall?
The recall applies to several products marketed under the names Crecelac and Farmalac, imported by Dairy Manufacturers Inc. The FDA identified multiple formula types-including infant and toddler blends-that were not manufactured in compliance with U.S. food safety and nutritional standards.
- Crecelac Infant Formula with Iron
- Crecelac Infant Formula with Iron and Prebiotics
- Farmalac Baby Formula with Iron
These formulas were sold across Texas retail locations without FDA approval and lacked adequate nutritional labeling. This failure to comply with regulations puts infants at risk of malnutrition or other serious health complications.
Why Is the FDA Warning Parents About These Products?
The FDA infant formula warning was issued after officials discovered that these imported formulas were not properly registered with the agency and had not been evaluated for compliance with federal nutritional requirements. That means the formulas may not provide the appropriate balance of protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals that developing infants need.
Additionally, the products were distributed with labels that do not meet FDA standards. This lack of transparency about what’s in the formula violates key safety and consumer protection regulations designed to prevent children from being exposed to harmful or inadequate nutrition.
Are There Any Known Health Risks from the Recalled Baby Formula?
While no illnesses have been officially reported yet, experts warn that babies consuming recalled baby formula in Texas that lacks proper nutrients may be at risk of developmental delays, malnutrition, or gastrointestinal issues. For infants who rely solely on formula for nutrition, consuming a defective product-even briefly-can have lasting consequences.
If your child has shown unusual symptoms or required medical treatment after consuming any of the recalled formulas, it’s important to preserve the packaging and consult a medical professional. Then, reach out to our firm to explore whether you may have a claim for damages under Texas product liability laws.
What Should Texas Parents Do If They Have This Formula?
First, immediately stop using any Crecelac or Farmalac formula. Check the packaging for any reference to Dairy Manufacturers Inc. or Mexican import labeling. Discontinue feeding your child the product, even if it appears safe, and store the container in case it’s needed as evidence.
Next, report any adverse effects to your child’s pediatrician. Then contact Alonso Krangle, LLP for a free legal consultation. We can advise you on how to proceed if your child was impacted, and whether compensation is available for medical expenses or emotional distress related to the use of baby formula with safety violations.
Understanding the Legal Issues Behind Formula Recalls
When a company fails to meet required federal standards-especially for infant nutrition-they may be held liable under product liability laws. This includes compensation for harm caused by nutrition label noncompliance, manufacturing without FDA oversight, or deceptive marketing practices.
The manufacturer and distributor in this case violated federal safety regulations by selling unapproved formulas across Texas. Parents who relied on these products trusted that they were safe and legal. When that trust is broken, legal action is often the only way to hold manufacturers accountable and prevent future harm to other families.
Can You File a Lawsuit Over Infant Formula Harm?
Yes. If your baby consumed recalled formula and suffered health problems, you may be able to file a product liability lawsuit. Claims can seek compensation for:
- Medical treatment for your child’s health issues
- Emotional distress and anxiety experienced by parents
- Costs of replacing unsafe products
- Long-term care or monitoring for affected infants
Our firm can help determine whether you have a valid claim and guide you through the legal process. We understand how traumatic it is to discover that something you fed your baby might have caused them harm. Our team is here to listen, investigate, and fight for your child’s safety.
