Goldberg Law PC, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Psychemedics Corporation ("Psychemedics" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: PMD).

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Psychemedics made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: through its affiliate, Psychemedics Brasil Exames Toxicológicos Ltda. ("Psychemedics Brasil"), the Company engaged in anticompetitive conduct to maintain a monopoly over the Brazilian market in violation of the law; that the Company lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting; and that as a result of the above, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading. On January 31, 2017, Bloomberg (News - Alert) reported that a Brazilian judge ordered Psychemedics Brasil to compensate Omega Laboratories, Inc. USA for losses caused by anticompetitive practices used for the purpose of "preventing other companies from accessing (the) market," an indemnification that may cost the Company millions of dollars. When this news was announced to the public, shares of Psychemedics fell in value, causing investors harm.
