About the Lawsuit

On September 9, 2016, Taro announced that its subsidiary and two senior officers received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. DOJ, Antitrust Division, seeking documents regarding the sale of generic pharmaceutical products.

Then, on October 17, 2016, NECA-IBEW Welfare Trust Fund filed an antitrust class action lawsuit against Taro and several other pharmaceutical companies alleging that they engaged in the price-fixing of Clobetasol since 2014 in violation of the U.S. antitrust laws.
