SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Encourages Investors Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 From Investment In Kimberly-Clark ...
July 19 2016 - 8:55PM
The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional
Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been
commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York on behalf of a class consisting of all persons
other than Defendants who purchased or acquired Kimberly-Clark
Corporation (“Kimberly-Clark”) (NYSE:KMB) securities on or after
February 25, 2013 and consequently received Halyard Health, Inc.
(“Halyard”) (NYSE:HYH) shares pursuant to Kimberly-Clark’s spin-off
of Halyard, effective as of October 31, 2014, and/or purchased or
acquired Halyard securities between October 21, 2014 and April 29,
2016, both dates inclusive (collectively, the “Class
Period”). Investors with losses in excess of $100,000 who
wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until
August 29, 2016 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
If you wish to choose counsel to represent you
and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be
selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the
litigation and participate in important decisions including whether
to accept a settlement for the Class in the action. The lead
plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the
largest loss from investment in Kimberly-Clark and/or Halyard
securities during the Class Period. Members of the Class will
be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead
plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above
action.
The complaint accuses the defendants of
violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the
defendants’ failure to disclose during the Class Period that the
Company’s MICROCOOL surgical gowns consistently failed
effectiveness tests and failed to meet industry standards and
Kimberly-Clark Corporation, the Company’s former parent company,
and Halyard had knowingly provided defective MICROCOOL surgical
gowns to U.S. workers during the Ebola crises.
According to the complaint, following a May 1,
2016 60 Minutes report that Kimberly-Clark and Halyard had
knowingly provided defective surgical gowns to U.S. workers at the
height of the Ebola crises, the value of Halyard shares declined
significantly.

Kimberly-Clark and/or Halyard securities during the Class Period
