The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) who purchased shares between October 25, 2013 and September 18, 2018. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.
(1) AbbVie’s strategy to increase the sales growth of its blockbuster drug, HUMIRA, relied in part upon illegal kickbacks and unlawful sales and marketing tactics; (2) such practices would foreseeably lead to heightened scrutiny by State governments and agencies; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
Shareholders have until November 20, 2018 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.
