Perrigo Sued Over Infant Formula Disclosures as Lead-Plaintiff Deadline Nears
The filing targets Perrigo’s handling of a Nestlé formula acquisition, with later disclosures cited as catalysts for steep share declines.
Overview
- A new securities class action, French v. Perrigo Company plc (S.D.N.Y.), seeks to represent investors who bought PRGO shares from February 27, 2023 through November 4, 2025.
- Plaintiffs allege Perrigo misled investors about the Nestlé-acquired infant formula business, citing underinvestment, manufacturing deficiencies, and remediation costs that exceeded earlier estimates.
- Robbins Geller, Pomerantz, Bernstein Liebhard, and Holzer & Holzer are soliciting class members, noting a January 16, 2026 deadline to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
- The complaint links stock drops to company updates on February 27, 2024 (extra $35–$45 million remediation and roughly 50% EPS decline, shares -15%), May 7, 2024 (-9.8%), and August 6, 2025 (production variability and higher scrap, shares -11%).
- On November 5, 2025, Perrigo announced a strategic review of the formula unit, a reassessment of a $240 million investment, and lower fiscal 2025 guidance, followed by a roughly 25% share decline.
