Attorney General Derek Schmidt today urged all Kansas parents to be cautious when shopping for and purchasing baby formula in the midst of extreme shortages occurring across the nation. Kansans are facing shortages of baby formula following pandemic-related disruptions in the global supply chain and a recall of significant amounts of baby formula by the Food and Drug Administration due to bacteria concerns. Most baby formula scams being reported to the attorney general’s office are occurring online, through non-traditional retail platforms such as Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, and through direct messaging on social media platforms.
