COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT

Abbott is initiating a proactive, voluntary recall of certain lots of 2 fluid
ounce/59 milliliter bottles of Ready-to-Feed liquid products for infants and
children, including the brands Similac® Pro-Total ComfortTM, Similac® 360 Total
Care®, Similac 360 Total Care Sensitive, Similac® Special Care® 24, Similac
Stage 1, Similac® NeoSure®, Similac Water (Sterilized) and Pedialyte Electrolyte
Solution. The products included in the recall were manufactured at our Columbus,
Ohio, manufacturing facility.

These products are being recalled because a small percentage of bottles (less
than 1%) in the recalled lots have bottle caps that may not have sealed
completely, which could result in spoilage. If spoiled product is consumed,
gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting may occur.

This recall does not include any other liquid or powder formula brands or other
nutrition products produced in our Columbus facility or elsewhere within our
global nutrition manufacturing network. It also does not include any amino
acid-based formulas or metabolic nutrition formulas.

This recall equates to less than one day's worth of the total number of ounces
of infant formula fed in the U.S. and is not expected to impact the overall U.S.
infant formula supply. Abbott is continuing production of Similac 2 fluid
ounce/59 milliliter Ready-to-Feed liquid formula products for hospitals and
healthcare providers' offices on a different production line. Similac infant
formula will continue to be produced in alternative product sizes and formats
for delivery to retail locations, in addition to increased production throughout
our global manufacturing network.

The products included in the recall were distributed primarily to hospitals and
to some doctors’ offices, distributors and retailers in the U.S., including
Puerto Rico; one lot of products was sent to Barbados, Bermuda, Colombia, the
Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Croix and St. Thomas; and two lots were
sent to Canada, Curacao, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago.


WHAT PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS SHOULD DO

If a product is included in the recall, do not use the product. For all
feeding-related questions or questions about your child’s health, contact a
healthcare professional.
