Investigation notes

Perrigo Company has officially reported a data security incident to the Maine Attorney General's office. This disclosure, dated May 18, 2026, confirms that a compromise of personal information occurred within the company's systems, prompting an ongoing investigation into the specifics of the event.

At present, the public record from the Maine Attorney General does not detail the specific categories of personal information that were exposed or accessed. Similarly, the total number of individuals whose data may have been affected by this incident remains undisclosed. These details are critical for individuals to understand their potential risks and should be communicated directly by Perrigo Company.

Our investigation into such incidents typically focuses on key questions: How was unauthorized access gained? How long did attackers maintain access to systems before detection? What specific safeguards were in place to protect personal information, and were they sufficient? We also examine whether notification to affected individuals was provided in a timely manner as required by law.

If you have received a notification letter from Perrigo Company, it is important to carefully review its contents for specific instructions and details. General protective measures include remaining vigilant against phishing attempts and regularly monitoring any accounts that might be linked to the compromised data for unusual activity.

Individuals whose personal information was involved in this security event may have legal rights. Understanding whether Perrigo Company met its obligations to protect your data is the first step in assessing those rights. A confidential review of your particular circumstances can help clarify what options may be available to you.

What our attorneys examine

A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether Perrigo Company used reasonable security, how long it kept the data, and how quickly it told the people affected. Those questions decide whether a class action or individual claim is possible. Read more on how ransomware lawsuits work, or browse other incident files in ME.

Perrigo Company data breach questions

Is the Perrigo Company data breach letter legit or a scam?
A notice from Perrigo Company in the mail matches the breach Perrigo Company reported to the ME Attorney General on May 18, 2026. Check that the company name and dates in your letter match that filing. A real notice of data security incident won't ask for your password, Social Security number or a payment — if it does, contact Perrigo Company through a phone number or website you find yourself.
Did Perrigo Company offer free credit monitoring?
Check your letter from Perrigo Company. If free credit or identity monitoring is offered, the enrollment code and deadline are printed in the notice itself. Enrolling does not give up your right to bring a claim.
Is there a Perrigo Company data breach class action lawsuit?
Law firms often open an investigation after a breach notice like this one, and a class action lawsuit may follow. This page doesn't confirm that a lawsuit has been filed against Perrigo Company. You usually don't have to join a class action to be included — if a settlement is reached, class members are notified and can file a claim.
What should I do after getting the Perrigo Company data breach notice?
Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
Where can I see the official Perrigo Company breach notice?
Perrigo Company's report is published by the ME Attorney General: https://www.maine.gov/agviewer/content/ag/985235c7-cb95-4be2-8792-a1252b4f8318/b926bce2-31d4-4e51-abde-4a593bbb6b64.html Compare it with the letter you received to confirm the dates and details match.
Do I need a Perrigo Company data breach lawyer or attorney?
An attorney can read your notice and tell you whether a claim makes sense. A case review here is free, and data breach cases are usually handled on contingency, so there is no upfront cost.
Can I sue Perrigo Company over the data breach?
It depends on what was exposed, the law in ME and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
How much could a Perrigo Company data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no Perrigo Company settlement is confirmed here. In past data breach settlements, payments depended on what data was exposed and on documented losses — fraud, out-of-pocket costs and time spent dealing with the breach. Keep receipts and records; they're what damages claims are built on.
