I saw it in their manual after the accident, but do not have the exact wording.

We have:

FCOM NP.21.56:
At the same time:
• push the TO/GA switch
• call “FLAPS 20”.

Verify:
• the rotation to go-around attitude
• that the thrust increases.

FCOM 11.31.31:
Missed Approach
A missed approach is accomplished by selection of either TOGA switch. The
following features are available: .......

So, I say again, as I did this morning; it would have been nice if it was clearly stated that: • push the TO/GA switch DOES NOT WORK in case of a bounced landing/touchdown.
It was news to me after the fact.

But I guess I'm alone here, and y'all knew better
