Reckitt Benckiser Group Plc’s chief executive officer vowed to fight to overturn a verdict that blamed one of the company’s Enfamil formulas for the death of a premature baby.

Enfamil Premature 24 “is safe and critical and we have no plans to stop providing the product,” CEO Kris Licht told analysts on a conference call Monday. “We are confident that this was an incorrect verdict and we will do everything we can to overturn it.”
