After the global recall of potentially contaminated
Abbott powdered formulas and one human milk
fortifier, many questions remained unanswered.
Abbott used the media to deny responsibility,
deceive the public and denigrate critics.
It is important to place the facts on record before
they are buried. Each question is answered by a
summary of the facts and provides further evidence
backed up by references from media reports, United
Nations agencies and US government documents.
Questions are grouped together under three main
headings: Formula Recalls, Reducing Health Risks
and Contaminated Factories.
