Additionally, the complaint alleges that BioAge’s financial statements contained inaccuracies and failed to reflect the true financial condition of the company.
Impact on BioAge Labs and Its Executives
If the allegations in the class-action lawsuit are proven, BioAge and its executives could face significant financial consequences.
