Specialized Infant Formula Protection Act

This bill would give federal district courts original jurisdiction over civil lawsuits claiming injury caused in whole or in part by preterm infant formula regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. This would apply when any plaintiff and any defendant are citizens of different states, or when a plaintiff is a citizen of a state and a defendant is a citizen of a foreign country. Any defendant could move such a case from state court to federal court without the consent of the other defendants. The changes would apply to cases already pending when the bill becomes law, as well as to new cases, regardless of when they were filed in state court.
