North Texas Walmart stores are among some 3,000 nationwide where store employees have pulled a batch of baby formula from the shelves after the death of an infant Missouri boy who had been fed the formula.
?? ?
The retailer says it is being "abundantly cautious" after the death of 10-day-old Avery Cornett last Sunday. The Missouri newborn appears to have died from a rare bacterial infection.
?? ?
The infant had been fed the baby formula made from 12.5 ounce cans of Enfamil Newborn powder.
The lot number is ZP1K7G.
??? ?
The government has not ordered a recall, but Walmart pulled the product as health officials continue to investigate.
???? ?
As Avery's family plans a funeral for the infant, samples of the formula he drank have been sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Food and Drug Administration.
??? ?
The manufacturer, Meade Johnson Nutrition says it tested the formula for the bacteria in question before shipping the product and tests came back negative.
?? ?
Depending on the outcome of the investigation, the product could be back on shelves as early as ten days from now.
?? ?
In the meantime, Walmart says it will allow customers who have the batch of baby formula in question to return it for a refund or an exchange.
