Harwood Feffer LLP Announces Investigation of Alere Inc.

NEW YORK, April 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Alere Inc. ("Alete" or the "Company") (NYSE: ALR) concerning whether the board has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders.

On March 15, 2016, the Company, which recently agreed to be acquired by Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott Labs"), disclosed that it had received a grand jury subpoena from the Department of Justice regarding its sales practices in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.  The Company is also responding to a subpoena relating to potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.  The merger with Abbott Labs is now in doubt.

Our investigation concerns whether the Company board of directors has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders, grossly mismanaged the Company, and/or committed abuses of control in connection with the foregoing.
