Shareholder Alert: Important Deadline for Reckitt Benckiser Investors
In a significant development for investors, ClaimsFiler, a free shareholder information service, has issued an alert regarding the upcoming deadline for filing lead plaintiff applications in a securities class action lawsuit against Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC (OTC RBGLY). Investors who sustained losses exceeding $100,000 and purchased Reckitt's American Depositary Shares (ADSs) between January 13, 2021, and July 28, 2024, are urged to take action before the deadline of August 4, 2025.
Lawsuit Overview
The class action lawsuit is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Reckitt, along with certain executives, is facing allegations related to the disclosure of material information during the class period. The plaintiffs claim that Reckitt's executives failed to inform shareholders about critical risks associated with their cow's milk-based infant formula, Enfamil.
Key Allegations
Among the key allegations, it is stated that:
1. Preterm infants using the Enfamil formula were at an elevated risk for developing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
2. Reckitt's lack of transparency concerning this risk could pose substantial threats to the company's sales and lead to potential legal claims against them.
3. As a result of these omissions and misleading statements, the company's previous assertions regarding its business performance and future prospects were considered not only false and misleading but also devoid of substantiation.
The case is formally titled
Elevator Constructors Union Local No. 1 Annuity 401(K) Fund v. Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC, et al., No. 25-cv-4708.
