Pomerantz Law Firm Launches Class Action Against Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc for Shareholder Losses
Pomerantz Law Firm Files Class Action
In a recent announcement, the Pomerantz Law Firm has filed a class action lawsuit against Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc, known informally as Reckitt. This legal action is aimed at addressing the grievances of investors who have suffered financial losses due to purported misconduct by the company's officers and directors.
The lawsuit centers on accusations of securities fraud and other unlawful business practices, which may have misled investors. Those who believe they have been affected are encouraged to reach out to the law firm for more information. Investors must act quickly, as the deadline to apply to be appointed as the Lead Plaintiff is August 4, 2025. Interested parties are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at Pomerantz via phone or email, providing necessary details including their contact information and the number of shares they purchased.
Historically, Reckitt has faced controversies, notably related to significant legal rulings against its subsidiaries. For instance, a jury in Illinois awarded $60 million in damages in March 2024 after determining that Mead Johnson, a Reckitt subsidiary, failed to adequately warn consumers about the risk of using its cow's milk-based formula, which was linked to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants. Following this verdict, Reckitt’s stock price dropped significantly, illustrating the immediate financial impact of such legal issues on investors.
Further compounding the situation, in July 2024, a similar lawsuit resulted in a staggering $495 million award against Abbott Laboratories, another company entangled in similar allegations regarding its baby formula and the associated risks of NEC. The fallout from these legal challenges severely affected Reckitt’s stock, resulting in notable declines.
