Flooding Forcers Abbott to Close Michigan Baby Formula Plant Again
------------------------------------------------------------------

The nation's largest baby formula manufacturer, Abbott Nutrition, has
been forced to pause operations at its plant in Sturgis, Michigan, due
to massive flooding after heavy rains overwhelmed the city's drainage
system. The plant is expected to stay closed for a few weeks. The plant
had just recently reopened after being ordered closed in February due to
contamination. The plant's closure led to a nationwide shortage of baby
formula.
