Details of the Investigation
The investigation is focused on more than a dozen cases of botulism in infants. These cases have been linked to a specific brand of infant formula.
Affected Areas
The cases have been reported in 10 states across the country. The first cases were reported as early as August.
Recall of Infant Formula
