(LEX 18) — A Kentucky couple is suing ByHeart, Inc. after their 4-month-old daughter developed infant botulism from consuming the company's formula, which has been linked to a multistate outbreak affecting at least 15 infants.

The lawsuit was filed by OFT Law PLLC in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky on behalf of Hanna and Michael Everett of Richmond.

The parents purchased ByHeart's formula because it was marketed as a "clinically proven" and healthier alternative to traditional formulas, OFT reported.
