The FDA and CDC are investigating a growing number of infant botulism cases possibly linked to ByHeart “Whole Nutrition” infant formula. If your baby consumed ByHeart formula and became ill, you are not alone — and you may have legal options.

At Dreyer Boyajian LLP, our experienced product liability attorneys are actively reviewing claims from families affected by this dangerous formula.

What You Need to Know

Federal health officials have identified at least 15 infants across 12 states who were hospitalized with confirmed or suspected infant botulism after consuming ByHeart formula. All of these infants required specialized antibody treatment, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Preliminary testing found Clostridium botulinum — the bacteria that causes botulism — in an open can of ByHeart formula linked to one case. While no unopened cans have tested positive, the FDA is warning all consumers to immediately stop using and discard any ByHeart infant formula products.

Symptoms to Watch For

Infant botulism is rare but extremely serious. If your baby consumed ByHeart formula, watch for:

  • Constipation or poor feeding
  • Weak or altered cry
  • Loss of head control or limpness
  • Difficulty swallowing or breathing

If any of these symptoms occur, seek medical help immediately — and then contact our legal team to learn your rights.
