Silver Law Group, a securities and investment fraud law firm announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of purchasers of Akers Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: AKER) (“Akers” or the “Company”) securities during the period between May 15, 2017 and June 5, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).  Investors who wish to serve as a lead plaintiff in the litigation have until August 13, 2018 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
