The inquest heard the baby was the son of Arshid Mahmood Khan and Jamila Dilpazir.

On the inquest opening document, it said: "Essa died in July 2025 but recent concerns have been raised that his death may be linked to contaminated formula following a recent product recall."

The medical causes of death were given as acute liver failure and mitochondrial disorder.

A date was set for a pre-inquest review on June 15 at 10am at Oxfordshire Coroner's Court.
