KENVUE’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
On May 3, 2023, Kenvue, previously the consumer health division of Johnson & Johnson, went public with an IPO, offering around 171,812,560 shares of its common stock to the public at a price of $22.00 per share. The IPO was based on the premise that Kenvue and its products, including “phenylephrine,” were effective.
On September 12, 2023, however, the FDA published a report stating that it was convening an advisory committee to “discuss the adequacy of efficacy data available for orally administered phenylephrine as a nasal decongestant and whether the oral nasal decongestants phenylephrine hydrochloride and phenylephrine bitartrate should be reclassified as not Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective (GRASE) due to lack of efficacy.”
Following this news, the price of Kenvue’s stock declined by $1.01 per share, or 4.58%, to close at $21.06 on September 12, 2023, from a prior closing price of $22.07 on September 11, 2023. The price of Kenvue’s shares have not gone above the $22.00 IPO price.
WHAT CAN I DO?

WHO CAN BE A LEAD PLAINTIFF?
A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
