Landmark Olson Grimsley Premature Infant Formula Case Earns Place in Law.com's Top 100 Verdicts of 2024
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Olson Grimsley has earned a place on Top 100 Verdicts of 2024 for its groundbreaking $60 million trial victory against Mead Johnson Nutrition, the manufacturer of Enfamil Premature Formula. On March 13, 2024, the company was found liable for negligence and failing to warn of the risk that its cow's milk-based formula could cause necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants. A St. Clair, Ill., jury returned the verdict after less than two hours of deliberation, awarding plaintiff Jasmine Watson $60 million for the loss of her baby, Chance Dean, to NEC. 'This case was about obtaining justice for Jasmine, who will never get her son back,' said Olson Grimsley partner Sean Grimsley, who led the trial team. 'It was also about holding Mead Johnson and other companies accountable for their negligence so that no other family has to endure what the Watsons went through.' The trial was the first among hundreds of lawsuits nationwide claiming the formula caused NEC, an intestinal disease that affects mostly premature babies.
