PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lannett Company, Inc. (NYSE: LCI) today announced that the class action lawsuit filed against the company and certain officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, entitled Schaefer v.

The complaint alleged that the defendants made a number of false and misleading statements involving pricing of the company’s Digoxin product. The dismissal follows the company informing the plaintiff that it had reviewed the complaint and concluded that the claims asserted were without merit, frivolous and subject to sanctions pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Litigation. The company is reviewing its options to determine whether there is a basis to seek reimbursement of the legal fees and costs incurred defending what it believes was a meritless case.
