The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of Vale S.A. (NYSE: VALE) who purchased shares between April 13, 2018 and January 28, 2019. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.
(1) Vale had failed to adequately assess the risk and damage potential of a dam breach at its Feijão iron ore mine; (2) Vale’s programs to mitigate health and safety incidents were inadequate; (3) consequently, several people were killed and hundreds more were reported missing after Vale’s dam at its Feijão mine was breached; and (4) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
Shareholders have until March 29, 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.
