Church & Dwight removed its pandemic-specific operational risk while adding two new risks focused on financial projection accuracy and broader COVID-19 business impacts, suggesting a shift from acute pandemic management to longer-term financial and business resilience concerns. The company substantively modified five risks including those related to retail environment changes, brand reputation, product mix, and tax regulations, indicating heightened attention to market dynamics and regulatory pressures. Overall, the 2024 filing reflects evolving risk priorities away from immediate pandemic operational challenges toward structural market and financial uncertainties.
