NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 10, 2019 / Pawar Law Group announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of 3M Company (NYSE:MMM) from February 9, 2017 through May 28, 2019, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for 3M investors under the federal securities laws.
To join the 3M class action, go to http://pawarlawgroup.com/cases/3m-company/ or call Vik Pawar, Esq. toll-free at 888-589-9804 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 27, 2019. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) 3M’s vast internal evidence dating back decades confirmed that man-made chemicals or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) are toxic (which was first publicly revealed in February 2018 by Minnesota’s Attorney General); (2) 3M had a long history of suppressing negative information and/or damaging data about PFAS; (3) 3M had significant legal exposure to state, county, and local governments and individuals around the country as a result of its knowledge and intentional concealment of the toxic harm caused by the use of PFAS; and (4) as a result, 3M’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
No class has been certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you hire one. You may hire counsel of your choice. You may also do nothing at this time and be an absent member of the class. Your ability to share in any future recovery is not dependent upon being a lead plaintiff.
