'Whether you have access to money or not it doesn't matter, if there's nothing to buy we're all in need,' says the organiser of a formula bank, as shortages are affecting every community across America.
There have been widespread shortages of baby formula in the US since February due to potential contamination issues at a major manufacturing plant.
The four cases were reported in Minnesota, Ohio and Texas between September and February, with two of the babies dying. Although no firm link between Abbott-produced formula has been proven, the Michigan factory is still closed following the six-week investigation by regulator the Food and Drug Administration .
The FDA and Abbott say they are working to resolve the problem, with the White House stepping in by invoking emergency legislation to boost production of formula.
