HASBRO SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Securities Class Action Filed Against Hasbro, Inc. (HAS); Block & Leviton Encourages Shareholders to Contact the Firm
BOSTON, Oct. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Block & Leviton LLP (www.blockesq.com), a Boston-based securities litigation firm representing investors nationwide, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Hasbro, Inc. ("Hasbro" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HAS) and certain of its officers and directors alleging violations of the federal securities laws. Class members interested in serving as lead plaintiff are reminded of the November 27, 2018 lead plaintiff deadline.
The complaint alleges that Hasbro made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Hasbro's relationship with Toys "R" Us was becoming increasingly important to Hasbro's business, but that Toys "R" Us was in far worse financial condition than was being publicly reported; (2) Hasbro was experiencing significant undisclosed adverse sales issues in two key markets—the United Kingdom and Brazil—which were negatively impacting Hasbro's efforts to grow sales in those markets; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' statements about Hasbro's business and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. The complaint alleges further that Hasbro executives sold more than $147 million of their Hasbro stock before revealing that Hasbro would not meet earnings expectations.
