Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against GSK plc Amid Securities Fraud Allegations
Investor Alert: GSK plc Faces Class Action Lawsuit
The Pomerantz Law Firm has recently announced the filing of a significant class action lawsuit against GSK plc (NYSE: GSK). This legal action seeks to address allegations regarding securities fraud and other unethical business practices perpetrated by the company's executives. Investors who have experienced financial losses in their investments with GSK are invited to respond to this alert and consider becoming involved in the class action before the approaching deadline.
Background of the Case
This lawsuit follows troubling revelations about GSK's handling of the widely used medication Zantac, which was under scrutiny for its potential links to cancer. In late 2019, GSK ceased distribution of Zantac after studies indicated that ranitidine, the active ingredient, could form a hazardous compound known as N-nitrosodimethylamine when interacting with nitrites. As a result, GSK issued a voluntary recall to address public health concerns.
In an analysis released on August 10, 2022, Deutsche Bank highlighted the possibility of GSK and other Zantac distributors facing considerable liability due to the health risks associated with the drug. The report forecasted potential liabilities reaching between $5 billion and $10 billion, which led to a significant decline in GSK’s American depositary receipts (ADRs) shortly thereafter.
On August 15, 2022, GSK further acknowledged that its liability exposure for Zantac could be between $1 billion and $10 billion, exacerbating investor concerns and resulting in yet another drop in the ADR price.
