Stockholders Claim Dura Pharmaceuticals Misled Market |
 |
A class action has been filed against Dura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Nasdaq: DURA) and certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's common stock between April 15, 1997, and February 24, 1998. The action claims that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market over this time period about Dura's Albuterol Spiros delivery device for asthma medication and Dura's Ceclor CD antibiotic, thereby artificially inflating the price of the company's securities. The stockholders seek to recover compensatory damages for the loss of value of their stock.
Dura was later acquired by Elan Corporation (NYSE: ELN), and its stock is no longer traded.
The trial court originally dismissed this action, but on August 5, 2003, the federal Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed that decision and reinstated the action.
