Cases of infant botulism tied to the ByHeart infant formula recall have nearly tripled across 15 states since the recall was first announced less than a month ago.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported 13 cases across 10 states when the recall was first announced on Nov. 8. Since then, the number has jumped to 31 cases across 15 states, according to the latest update on Nov. 19.
ByHeart has also expanded its recall to include all batches of the ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula cans and single-serve “Anywhere Pack” sticks.
"We continue to urge parents and caregivers to stop using ByHeart formula immediately," the company stated in an Instagram post . "Monitor your child for symptoms of infant botulism and seek medical care immediately if they develop symptoms."
