Levi & Korsinsky Notifies Shareholders of a Complaint Filed in U.S. District Court to Recover Losses Suffered by Investors in Mallinckrodt plc (MNK)

Lead Plaintiff Deadline of March 27, 2017


NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announced that a class action has commenced in the USDC for the District of Columbia on behalf of purchasers of Mallinckrodt plc (NYSE:MNK) who purchased shares between November 25, 2014 through January 18, 2017.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period Mallinckrodt and its Chief Executive Officer, Mark Trudeau, made a series of false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the long-term sustainability of Mallinckrodt’s monopolistic HP Acthar Gel (“Acthar”) revenues and the exposure of Acthar to reimbursement rates by Medicare and Medicaid. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Acthar’s monopoly status as the only FDA-approved adrenocorticotropic hormone preparation was the product of unlawful anticompetitive practices and failed to disclose that its increasing reliance on Medicare and Medicaid meant that Mallinckrodt’s monopolistic Acthar revenue would be threatened if the government took action to limit the price paid for this drug by taxpayers.
