Aegerion markets its cholesterol drug Juxtapid in the United States. Juxtapid is the sole FDA-approved Aegerion product. Juxtapid was approved by U.S. health regulators in December 2012 o treat patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), a rare genetic disease that impairs the function of the receptor responsible for removing LDL-C or "bad" cholesterol from the blood.

The Complaint alleges that Aegerion's marketing practices during the Class Period were in violation of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), and that defendants made false and misleading statements or failed to disclose to Aegerion investors that:

• the Company marketed its drugs in violation of the FDCA; and
• as a result, the Company faced heightened regulatory scrutiny by the FDA and other governmental bodies.

On January 10, 2014, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice requesting documents regarding its marketing and sale of Juxtapid. As a result of this news, Aegerion shares declined $ 7.98 per share, or nearly 11%, to close at $65.77 per share on January 10, 2013.
