New York, NY, March 10, 2025 – Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announces that a class action securities lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors in Merck & Co., Inc. (“Merck” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MRK). The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleges that Merck violated federal securities laws.
Background of the Case
According to the complaint, Merck made false and misleading statements to the market throughout the class period, from January 27, 2021, through October 26, 2022. Specifically, the Company allegedly made false and misleading statements regarding the safety and efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine, known as the mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine, BNT162b2.
Impact on Individual Investors
If you purchased Merck securities between January 27, 2021, and October 26, 2022, you may be entitled to recover your losses. The complaint alleges that Merck failed to disclose material information regarding the safety and efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine, leading to artificially inflated prices for Merck securities during the class period. As a result, investors suffered significant losses.
Impact on the World
The lawsuit against Merck could have far-reaching implications for the pharmaceutical industry as a whole. The allegations of misrepresentation regarding the safety and efficacy of a vaccine during a global pandemic could erode public trust in vaccines and the companies that produce them.
