NEW YORK, Sept. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP reminds investors of the October 15, 2024 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed on behalf of those who who acquired PDD Holdings Inc. f/k/a Pinduoduo Inc.

On March 21, 2023, Reuters published an article revealing that Google had suspended the Pinduoduo app after it had detected malware issues. On this news, the price of PDD ADSs declined by $3.35 per share, from $78.93 on March 21, 2023, to close at $75.58 per share on March 22, 2023. Then, on March 27, 2023, Bloomberg published an article stating that the cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab had identified potential malware in versions of the Chinese shopping app that “exploited system software vulnerabilities to install backdoors and gain unauthorized access to user data and notifications.” On this news, the price of PDD ADSs declined by $2.28 per share, to close at $71.68 per share on March 27, 2023.

On June 23, 2023, Business Insider published an article based on Congress’s investigation into PDD’s e-commerce shopping platform Temu titled “Temu reportedly relies on customers and suppliers to report if goods from the site were produced by forced labor.” On this news, the price of PDD ADSs declined by $3.09 per share, to close at $69.80 per share on June 23, 2023.

On June 25, 2024, the Attorney General of Arkansas announced that he sued Temu for violations of the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Arkansas Personal Information Protection Act. The announcement stated that “[t]hough it is known as an e-commerce platform, Temu is functionally malware and spyware. It is purposefully designed to gain unrestricted access to a user’s phone operating system.” On this news, the price of PDD ADSs declined by $1.77 on June 26, 2024, and then an additional $6.29 to close at $131.94 per share on June 27, 2024.

The lawsuit alleges that the Company misrepresented that it complied with all applicable laws relating to privacy and cybersecurity, maintained complete security over confidential or private information of its customers, and did not use “forced, penal, or child labor.”
