I had  envisioned the first(?) lawsuit to be more on the lines of "child,
with  uninformed parents, is fed (free) formula in the hospital and  later
develops diabetes so parents sue".



Dear Friends:
    It would be nice if that would happen. However,  diabetes is so common 
these days that I doubt a lawsuit about it would get  attention the way that the 
death of a baby does. Unfortunately, it takes a lot  to get public attention. 
I hope this case is discussed everywhere on mass media,  before it gets 
squelched by an out-of-court settlement. I agree with the person  who said that the 
formula company will happily pay out of court to shut this one  up.
    warmly,
