NEW YORK, March 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that
a class action lawsuit has been filed against Akorn Inc. (“Akorn” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AKRX) and certain of its officers, on
behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired Akorn securities between August 1, 2018 through January 8, 2019, both
dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: www.bgandg.com/akrx.
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Complaint alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1)
Akorn’s management misled investors concerning the severity of Akorn’s manufacturing violations at its Decatur, Illinois facility;
(2) Akorn’s responses to the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) Form 483—which contained a list of observations made by the FDA
during its inspection of Akorn’s Decatur, Illinois facility in April and May 2018—would be deemed inadequate by the FDA; (3) Akorn
repeatedly failed to correct manufacturing violations at this facility; (4) the foregoing would subject Akorn to heightened
regulatory scrutiny by the FDA; and (5) as a result, Akorn’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant
times.
On January 9, 2019, Akorn revealed that it had received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after an
inspection of Akorn’s Decatur, Illinois manufacturing facility. This inspection exposed that contrary to what the Company relayed
to investors, it had failed to comply with multiple federal regulations relating to drug manufacturing. Following this news, Akorn
stock dropped $0.46 per share, or over 11.6%, to close at $3.48 on January 9, 2019.
