On Friday, a jury found that Abbott Laboratories' premature infant formula caused a dangerous intestinal disease in a young girl in Illinois and ordered the healthcare company to pay $95 million in compensatory damages. This verdict in a state court in St. Louis, Missouri is the first trial for the company, with hundreds of similar claims regarding the formula being heard in courts across the United States. The jury will now consider whether to award punitive damages to the girl's mother. Before the jury begins considering punitive damages, James Hurst, Abbott's lawyer, said that this verdict could send the wrong message and limit doctors' feeding options for premature infants unable to breastfeed. "It's a big hit," Hurst said. "It's the harshest verdict."
