Top story

Abbott Laboratories is recalling 5 million containers of its best-selling Similac baby formula, The Associated Press reported. The recall, which affects powdered formula sold in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and some Caribbean countries, was ordered because the product may contain beetles or beetle larvae.

Two consumers contacted Abbott with allegations of tainted formula, forcing the company to launch an investigation. According to Reuters, the beetles were later discovered at the company's Sturgis, Mich., plant.

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has determined that while the formula containing these beetles poses no immediate health risk, there is a possibility that infants who consume formula containing the beetles or their larvae could experience symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and refusal to eat," Abbott said.

The affected products were sold in 8-ounce, 12.4-ounce and 12.9-ounce cans. Parents are urged to visit the Similac Website and enter the formula's lot numbers to determine if the products are part of the recall.

Abbott expects to lose $100 million in connection with the recall.

    I was able to get on there this morning. I have the 2 sample cans they sent me. Both were NOT part of the recall. IDK if all of the sample cans come from the same facility?

    I got a sample can too but its at home and I havent had the chance to look it up yet. We are hoping not to have to use it at all but if we keep it around in case of emergencies, I need to check that too.
