| "The Biden Administration ignored multiple warning signs that a baby formula shortage was imminent, sitting on their hands until shelves were bare in Iowa and across the country. While I’m glad there is an agreement in place to restart production at the Abbott plant, families cannot continue to live like this. Abbott and the FDA must work as quickly as possible to safely restock baby formula at sufficient levels. In the meantime, we will continue working to get more baby formula on the shelves and ensure families are never in this position again.”-Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
Background:
Last week, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik sent a letter to the FDA calling for a clear timeline to get baby formula back on the shelves and demanding the agency provide a plan to prevent future shortages.
Abbott is releasing certain, medically necessary metabolic formulas that were previously on hold. If your baby needs metabolic formula, call Abbott at 1-800-881-0876 for assistance.
