Event Summary

Pomerantz LLP is investigating Danone S.A. for alleged securities fraud and other unlawful business practices. This investigation follows reports from Thomson Reuters===Reuters on January 21, 2026, that Danone was recalling batches of its Thai-origin Dumex Dulac 1 infant milk formula due to cereulide contamination. The news caused Danone's American Depositary Receipt (ADR) price to fall by 7.95%. A subsequent press release from Danone on January 23, 2026, announcing a recall of select batches, led to a further 2.7% drop in its ADR price. Pomerantz LLP is seeking investors affected by these events to join a potential class action.
