Baby Formula Sold in Louisiana and Texas Part of Recall Alert

Reckitt is voluntarily recalling baby formula after the product was possibly contaminated with Cronobacter sakazakii, a bacteria that can be life-threatening among young children, according to our news partners at KTAL NBC 6.

The company is recalling ProSobee 12.9 oz. Simply Plant-Based Infant Formula out of “an abundance of caution.”

KTAL NBC 6 says:

Cronobacter sakazakii is the same bacteria that caused several infections among infants last year, leading to an FDA investigation of formula maker Abbott Laboratories. Abbott has denied any direct link to the cases, two of which involved children who died. Abbott issued a voluntary recall and shuttered a plant for months, contributing to a nationwide formula shortage.
