evidence: Will Similac and Enfamil, two baby formula companies, send parents free formula through "the state" due to the ongoing formula shortage? No, that's not true: A spokesperson for Abbott, the parent company of Similac, told us that this claim was not true. Although a social media post claimed that the baby formula company Enfamil would also send parents free formula, Lead Stories did not see any evidence of that on the parent company's website. [...] Due to the shortage of formula if you call enfamil or similac they will notify the state you can't find any for your child and the state will send you a 6 pack of 12 Oz cans to your address ! [...] Lead Stories reached out to Enfamil but did not receive a response as of this writing. However, their parent company website, Reckitt Benckiser Group, has not released a formal statement saying that they will send free Enfamil formula to families. Reckitt Benckiser's newsroom is here. We will update this story when we receive a response from the company.
