State Street faces ERISA suit charging self-dealing
Print
Participants in a $4.5 billion 401(k) plan sponsored by State Street Corp. have filed a class-action suit against the company, its subsidiaries and unnamed executives for alleged ERISA violations.
The suit, filed Tuesday in federal court in Boston by Elizabeth Gomes and others on behalf of participants in the State Street Salary Savings Program, alleges that from May 25, 2015 to the present, State Street repeatedly and consistently selected investment funds managed by State Street or one of its subsidiaries for the plan over better-performing alternatives.
The suit argues that the actions were done to financially benefit State Street to the detriment of the plan s performance and profitability, with State Street gaining more than $615 million in fees and other revenue and the plan to lose millions of dollars a year.

The Second Circuit on Tuesday affirmed a Southern District of New York dismissal of a case brought by 71 individuals against Taro Pharmaceutical U.S.A. Inc. lodging claims of strict liability, negligent failure to warn, negligent marketing and sale, negligence per se, fraud, and wrongful death stemming from the plaintiffs’ use of Taro drug Amiodarone.
The original complaint against generic pharmaceutical manufacturer Taro alleged that the drug company was complicit in the injuries of the plaintiffs, some purportedly resulting in death, by failing to make “medication guides” noting proper use and risks of Amiodarone available to patients and failing to ensure that the drug information promulgated to physicians was accurate. The plaintiffs also claimed that Taro “concealed” records of adverse effects of the drug in treating atrial fibrillation.
