Austin claimed that a can fo the formula was contaminated with Enterobacter sakazakii bacteria, causing severe injury to the infant. The bacteria can cause infections of the bloodstream and central nervous system--in particular, meningitis (inflammation of the tissue surrounding the brain or spinal cord).
