According to the complaint, during the class period Defendants misled investors by falsely and/or misleadingly stating or omitting to disclose that:  (1) Vale failed to adequately assess the risk and damage potential of a dam breach at its Feijo iron ore mine; (2) Vale's programs to mitigate health and safety incidents were inadequate; and, (3) as a result, over a hundred people were killed and hundreds more were reported missing after Vale's dam was breached.

On March 5, 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported Vale dismissed an auditor that refused to certify the dam as safe in September 2018.

"We're focused on investors' losses, Defendants' knowledge of dangerous problems with the Feijo dam, and the extent to which Defendants may have misled investors," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
