During the class period, PG&E allegedly made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: PG&E had failed to maintain electricity transmission and distribution networks in compliance with safety requirements and regulations promulgated under state law; consequently, PG&E was in violation of state law regulation; PG&E’s electricity networks would cause numerous wildfires in California; and as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about the Company’s business and operations were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Newell Brands Inc. (NYSE: NWL ) Class Period: February 6, 2017 - January 24, 2018 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: August 20, 2018
According to the complaint, the Company’s retail channel was loaded with extremely high levels of unsold Newell product; contrary to defendants’ representations, the build-up of Newell inventory in the retail channel was due to Company-specific rather than macroeconomic reasons; as a result of the unusually high levels of unsold inventory in the retail channel, Newell was exposed to a heightened risk that it would experience slower sales growth in future periods; and undisclosed managerial and cultural differences in the legacy Newell and Jarden businesses had created significant discord that was having a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating performance.

Flex Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLKS ) Class Period: November 6, 2017 - June 12, 2018 Lead Plaintiff Deadline: August 20, 2018
During the class period, Flex Pharma overstated the viability and approval prospects for its product candidate FLX-787 for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; and as a result, Flex Pharma's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On June 13, 2018, Flex announced that it planned to halt its FLX-787 trials, citing oral tolerability concerns observed in both studies. Flex also said that it will restructure its organization to reduce costs, including reducing its workforce by approximately 60%, and that Flex's Board is exploring "strategic alternatives, including the potential sale or merger of the company." Following this news, Flex stock dropped $3.14 per share, or 75.12%, to close at $1.04 on June 13, 2018.
