By Data Breach Law Group | Posted on May 18, 2026 · Maine
Perrigo Company, a global consumer health product manufacturer, reported a data security incident to Maine regulators on May 18, 2026. This breach may have compromised sensitive personal data, prompting our firm to launch an investigation into the incident and the company's data protection measures.
Our firm is announcing its investigation into the recent data breach reported by Perrigo Company, a major manufacturer and distributor of consumer self-care and OTC health products. The company formally notified the Maine Attorney General on May 18, 2026, of a security incident that may have exposed confidential personal information.
The compromised data in this incident includes, but is not limited to, Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Banking and Direct Deposit Details, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Identification Data, and Employee Personnel Records. The exposure of such a comprehensive range of personal identifiers and financial details presents a substantial risk for those affected, potentially leading to identity theft, financial fraud, and other harms.
Companies like Perrigo Company are entrusted with safeguarding the sensitive personal data they collect and store. They are legally obligated to implement robust cybersecurity protocols to protect this information from unauthorized access. A data breach of this nature raises serious questions about whether adequate security measures were in place to prevent such a significant compromise.
If you have received a data breach notification letter from Perrigo Company, it indicates that your personal information was exposed due to this incident. We encourage you to understand your legal rights and explore the options available to you. Our firm is currently investigating this breach and offers a free, no-obligation case review for individuals affected.

If you were affected
Freeze your credit
Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.
Guard against tax fraud
File your tax return as early as possible and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN so no one can file a fraudulent return in your name.
Watch your financial accounts
Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.
Stay alert to targeted scams
Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.
