Class Action Details
According to the lawsuit, there are claims that Reckitt and certain individuals in positions of authority within the company have engaged in securities fraud.

Investors have until August 4, 2025, to formally request their appointment as Lead Plaintiff. The complete details can be found in the filed complaint available at www.pomerantzlaw.com.
Background of the Case
Adding weight to the allegations are earlier legal troubles for Reckitt’s Mead Johnson subsidiary. On March 15, 2024, a jury in Illinois rendered a verdict imposing a $60 million penalty against Mead Johnson. The jury determined that the company displayed negligence by failing to inform consumers that its cow's milk-based formula significantly raised the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants. This ruling had immediate consequences for Reckitt, resulting in a sharp decline in the price of its American Depositary Shares (ADS), which fell nearly 14% on the same day.
Further compounding Reckitt's troubles, a similar lawsuit against Abbott Laboratories on July 29, 2024, resulted in a staggering $495 million verdict, asserting that Abbott's specialized baby formula also posed a risk of NEC. Following this announcement, Reckitt's ADS plummeted by approximately 9%, highlighting the unsettling climate that surrounds the company's operations and public perception.
With over 85 years of experience in corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation, Pomerantz continues to exemplify its commitment to fighting against corporate misconduct. Founded by the influential Abraham L. Pomerantz, the firm has a long history of successfully securing multimillion-dollar settlements on behalf of class members affected by securities fraud.
