According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Rite Aid filled hundreds of thousands of illegal prescriptions for controlled substances such as opioids up until June 2019. The Company’s pharmacists filled prescriptions despite “red flags” indicating they were likely unlawful. The Company ignored evidence of these prescriptions and deleted internal notes expressing concern about suspicious prescribers. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Rite Aid, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
