The Lawsuit
The class-action lawsuit, filed on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Merck & Co., Inc. securities between December 23, 2020, and August 11, 2021, alleges that Merck & Co., Inc. and certain of its executives violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing materially false and misleading statements and failing to disclose material information regarding the efficacy and safety of its COVID-19 vaccine, known as the Molnupiravir.
Impact on Affected Investors
The lawsuit states that during the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Molnupiravir’s clinical trial data was insufficient to support the efficacy and safety of the drug; (2) there were concerns regarding the drug’s side effects; and (3) Merck & Co., Inc. was under investigation by regulatory authorities for these issues.
As a result of these alleged false statements and omissions, Merck & Co., Inc. securities traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, causing investors harm.
