(CP) - Research in Motion says a class action lawsuit has been filed against the company in the United States, alleging it misled some investors.
The Waterloo, Ont.,-based maker of the BlackBerry smartphone and PlayBook tablet device, says the suit claims RIM's leadership made materially false and misleading statements about its financial condition and business prospects over a four-month period ended April 28.
RIM (TSX:RIM) said the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, is seeking unspecified damages.
