The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of 3M Company (NYSE: MMM) who purchased shares between February 9, 2017 and May 28, 2019. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.
(i) 3M had vast internal evidence dating back decades confirming that polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) are toxic (which was first publicly revealed in February 2018 by Minnesota’s Attorney General); (ii) 3M had a decades-long history of suppressing negative information and/or damaging data about PFAS; and (iii) 3M has legal exposure to state, county, and local governments and individuals around the country as a result of its knowledge and intentional concealment of the toxic harm caused by the use of PFAS.
Shareholders have until September 27, 2019 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.
