As it turns out, the infant formula shortage wasn’t just on shelves. In fact, for Similac customers, it may have been in the packaging as well.

A class action lawsuit was filed against Similac’s parent company, Abbott Laboratories, alleging that the formula manufacturer listed more servings on the package than each actually contained, even when following directions exactly as labeled. Plaintiffs filed the class action suit against Abbott alleging false advertising.

Abbott Laboratories admitted no wrongdoing in the case but agreed to a $19.5 million settlement. Here’s how to find out if you’re eligible for an award in the Similac class action suit.
