ERISA Class Action

On August 20, 2007, Harris v. Amgen Inc., et al., an ERISA class action lawsuit was filed against Amgen and certain of its Board of Directors in the California Central District Court. Plaintiffs claim that Amgen and various Board members breached their fiduciary duties by failing to inform current and former employees who participated in the Amgen Retirement and Savings Manufacturing Plan and the Amgen Savings Plan of the alleged off-label promotion of both Aranesp® and EPOGEN® while a number of studies allegedly demonstrated safety concerns in patients using ESAs.
