Abbott Laboratories has agreed to a $385 million settlement to resolve claims stemming from a Justice Department investigation and lawsuit. The legal action was tied to the manufacturing practices and subsequent 2022 recall of powdered infant formula at the company's facility in Sturgis, Michigan.
The Sturgis site is the largest baby formula plant in the United States. The closure and contamination issues at the facility triggered widespread supply shortages of infant formula across the country in 2022.
