Reckitt Benckiser Shareholder Alert
In a significant development for shareholders of Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC, ClaimsFiler, a prominent shareholder information service, has issued a reminder regarding a pending class action lawsuit. Investors who have suffered losses exceeding $100,000 related to Reckitt's American Depositary Shares (ADSs) are encouraged to take action before the lead plaintiff application deadline on
August 4, 2025.
This alert pertains to individual investors who acquired Reckitt's ADSs between

Details of the Lawsuit
The class action lawsuit alleges that Reckitt misled investors about the risks associated with its products, specifically the cow's milk-based infant formula, Enfamil. The issues raised include:
1.
Increased Risk for Preterm Infants: Claims indicate that the product posed an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) for preterm infants.
2.
Impact on Sales: The potential health risks associated with the formula could significantly impact sales and lead to numerous legal claims.
3.
Misleading Statements: Assertions made by the company regarding its business, operations, and future prospects were allegedly false and lacked reasonable foundation, causing investors to invest under false pretenses.
These allegations underscore serious concerns regarding Reckitt's transparency and corporate governance practices, as it pertains to the health and safety of vulnerable populations, such as infants.
Legal Proceedings
The lawsuit is filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, under the title
Elevator Constructors Union Local No. 1 Annuity 401(K) Fund v. Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC, et al., No. 25-cv-4708. The legal proceedings aim to hold the company accountable for the alleged misconduct and to seek restitution for the affected shareholders.
