LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A Central Kentucky family filed a federal lawsuit against ByHeart after their baby contracted infant botulism from the company’s formula.

Hanna Everett of Richmond said her four-month-old, Piper, was constipated, not eating and overall seemed sick.

After five days in the hospital, Piper was released, but will have to undergo feeding and speech therapy.
