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 April 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.
(1) safety concerns about Pfizer Inc.’s drug Xeljanz extended to Abbvie’s drug Rinvoq and to other Janus kinase enzyme inhibitor drugs; (2) as a result, it was likely that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration would require additional safety warnings for Rinvoq and would delay the approval of additional treatment indications for Rinvoq; and (3) therefore, defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis.
Shareholders have until June 6, 2022 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.
