PITTSBURGH, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Notice is hereby given by the Law Office of Alfred G. Yates Jr., P.C. that it has filed a class action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Questcor") (Nasdaq: QCOR) securities during the period between April 4, 2011 and September 21, 2012 (the "Class Period").

The complaint charges Questcor and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants violated the federal securities laws by disseminating false and misleading statements to the investing public about the effectiveness of Acthar as a treatment for MS and nephrotic syndrome, making it impossible for shareholders to gain a meaningful or realistic understanding of the drug's prospects and market success.  As a result of defendants' false statements, Questcor's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $57.64 per share on July 9, 2012.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Questcor securities during the Class Period (the "Class").
