Similac Powder Formula Recalled

Abbott recalls infant formula over contamination fear

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill. (AP) — Drugmaker Abbott Laboratories said today it is recalling millions of containers of powder-based infant formula that may be contaminated with insect parts.
The voluntary action affects less than 5 million Similac-brand powder formulas sold in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and some Caribbean countries. The company said the products may contain a small beetle or larvae, which could cause stomach ache and digestion problems.
A company spokeswoman said Abbott uncovered the insects last week in one section of a Michigan manufacturing plant.
