Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals: What Does It Mean for Investors and the World?
On February 4, 2025, The Schall Law Firm announced that it had filed a class action lawsuit against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Regeneron or the Company) for alleged violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of investors who purchased Regeneron’s securities between November 2, 2023, and October 30, 2024, inclusive (the Class Period).
Allegations against Regeneron
The complaint alleges that Regeneron made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information during the Class Period. Specifically, the Company is accused of downplaying the potential safety risks associated with its Eylea product, which is used to treat various eye diseases. Regeneron reportedly failed to disclose that post-marketing studies had identified an increased risk of cardiovascular events, including stroke and myocardial infarction, in patients using Eylea. This information, the lawsuit claims, would have significantly impacted investors’ decisions to purchase or hold Regeneron’s securities.
Impact on Individual Investors
If the allegations against Regeneron are proven true, investors who purchased the Company’s securities during the Class Period may be entitled to compensation. The size and specifics of the compensation will depend on the outcome of the lawsuit and the individual investor’s holding period and number of shares purchased. Investors who wish to participate in the lawsuit should contact The Schall Law Firm before the March 10, 2025, deadline.
Global Implications
The lawsuit against Regeneron could have far-reaching implications for the pharmaceutical industry as a whole. If the allegations are proven true, it could lead to increased scrutiny of other companies in the industry and heightened awareness of the importance of transparent reporting regarding potential safety risks associated with their products. Additionally, this case may serve as a reminder to investors to carefully consider the risks and potential rewards before purchasing securities, particularly in the healthcare sector where regulatory oversight and safety concerns can significantly impact company valuations.
Conclusion
The class action lawsuit against Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is an important development for investors and the pharmaceutical industry.
