Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against K-V Pharmaceutical Company

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of K-V Pharmaceutical Company (“K-V Pharmaceutical” or the “Company”) (NYSE:KV-A) (NYSE:KV-B) between February 14, 2011 and April 4, 2011, inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.

KV Pharmaceutical is a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the acquisition, development, manufacture and marketing of branded and generic/non-branded prescription pharmaceutical products in the United States, primarily focusing on women’s healthcare. The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period defendants issued false and/or misleading statements concerning the Company’s business and financial prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted K-V Pharmaceutical the exclusive distribution rights over "Makena," a drug used to prevent miscarriages, and that the FDA would enforce those rights by preventing K-V’s competitors from distributing generic formulations of the drug. The Complaint further alleges that defendants failed to disclosed that the drug’s $1,500 price actually would reduce the availability of Makena to low-income and other at-risk groups.
