According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Merck claimed that its consumer activation and education efforts would drive demand for Gardasil, especially in China. The Company was exceedingly positive about Gardasil while concealed negative facts about demand for the product in China and the inflated inventory held by its distributor, Zhifei. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Merck, investors suffered damages.
