Outbreak Summary
OFT Law is actively investigating and accepting cases on behalf of infants and families affected by the severe, multi-state outbreak of Infant Botulism linked to Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched an ongoing investigation into the contaminated formula in June 2026. Public health officials have explicitly warned parents and caregivers: Do not use Nara Organics Whole Milk Organic Powdered Infant Formula.
Infant botulism is a rare but life-threatening neurological condition caused by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. This dangerous pathogen can rapidly cause muscle weakness, severe breathing complications, and prolonged hospitalization.
If your infant consumed Nara Organics baby formula and has been hospitalized or shown signs of botulism, your family may be entitled to significant compensation. Manufacturers of baby formula have a strict legal duty to ensure their products are entirely free from dangerous contaminants. When they fail, they must be held accountable. OFT Law is currently representing many families affected by a recent outbreak of Infant Botulism tied to a different formula maker (ByHeart).

More Details
The FDA’s active June 2026 investigation focuses on a cluster of infant botulism cases tied directly to Nara Organics powdered formula. Because botulism is a medical emergency that attacks the body’s nerves, recognizing the signs early is absolutely vital for an infant’s recovery.
Symptoms can take several days to a few weeks to develop after consuming the contaminated formula.
Severe constipation
Poor feeding, weak sucking, or outright refusal to eat
Loss of head control (often described as a “floppy neck”)
Difficulty swallowing or excessive drooling
Decreased facial expressions or a weak cry
Difficulty breathing, which can quickly progress to respiratory arrest
Medical Warning: If your child exhibits any of these symptoms after consuming Nara Organics formula, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
When a company markets premium infant formula to parents, they carry the highest possible responsibility under the law. Contamination with C. botulinum spores represents a severe breakdown in manufacturing safety controls.
OFT Law is prepared to help your family pursue maximum compensation for the devastating physical, emotional, and financial impact of this outbreak, including:
Medical Expenses: Coverage for intensive care unit (ICU) hospital stays, specialized botulism antitoxin treatments, and long-term rehabilitation or physical therapy.
Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical trauma endured by the infant and the profound emotional distress suffered by the parents.
Future Damages: Long-term medical care costs associated with lingering respiratory or muscle weakness.
If your infant was sickened or hospitalized due to botulism after consuming Nara Organics formula, you have strong grounds for a legal claim.
