The shareholder derivative lawsuit arises from a number of whistleblower lawsuits, including one filed in California in 2018. These brought to light AbbVie’s scheme to induce doctors to prescribe Humira by showering them with cash, meals, drinks, gifts, trips, patient referrals and the services of nurse “ambassadors.”
Ranney v. Gonzalez is just the latest fallout from AbbVie’s controversial “white coat marketing” efforts.
