Kirby McInerney LLP announced today that a class action lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of investors who acquired Lannett Company, Inc. (“Lannett” or the “Company”) (NYSE:LCI) securities during the period from September 10, 2013 through July 16, 2014 (the “Class Period”). Pursuant to applicable law, investors have until October 27, 2014 to file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the investor lawsuit.

The lawsuit charges that the Company, whose primary business is in manufacturing and distributing generic versions of branded pharmaceutical products in the United States, failed to disclose during the Class Period that it was fixing and controlling prices of digoxin, a product which accounted for 23% of the Company’s annual net sales. The lawsuit alleges that, in violation of antitrust laws, the Company was allocating and dividing customers and territories with competing digoxin sellers, and that these anticompetitive practices subjected the Company to heightened regulatory scrutiny.

On July 16, 2014, the Company announced that it received interrogatories and a subpoena from the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General in connection with an investigation into Lannett’s pricing and customer division of digoxin. On this news, the Company’s stock price declined from $47.09 on July 15, 2014 to $39.04 on July 16, 2014, a one-day price decline of 17%.
