Similac Infant Formula Recall

Abbott, maker of infant formulas has volunteered to recall millions of cans of Similac powder infant formula due to a suspicion that the products may be contaminated with parts of beetles or larvae. Last week the company discovered these bugs in one of their manufacturing plant sections. Accordingly, powdered infant formulas polluted by these insects could cause digestion problems and stomach aches in babies consuming the contaminated product. Similac brand products affected by this recall are those distributed in the U.S., Guam, Puerto Rico, and some countries in the Carribean.
