Impax Laboratories had received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), dated May 31, 2011, related to an inspection of its Hayward, California manufacturing facility, which cited problems in deviation from current Good Manufacturing Practices.
The plaintiff claims that the defendants allegedly issued false and misleading statements between June 6, 2011 and March 4, 2013 to the investing public in connection with their efforts to correct manufacturing deficiencies at the Hayward facility, and the impact the deficiencies would have on the Company's ability to gain FDA approval for RYTARY(TM), an extended-release drug for treatment of Parkinson's disease.
The plaintiff says that as a result of defendants' statements between June 6, 2011 and March 4, 2013, IPXL stocks traded at inflated prices, reaching a high of $27.02 on October 2, 2012.
On March 04, 2013, Impax Laboratories Inc announced that the FDA completed its re-inspection of the Hayward facility in connection with the previously disclosed Form 483 issued in March 2012. Impax Laboratories Inc said that at the conclusion of this inspection, the FDA issued a new Form 483 with twelve observations, three of which are designated as repeat observations from inspections that occurred prior to the Warning Letter.
Shares of Impax Laboratories Inc dropped from $20.00 on March 4, 2013, to as low as $14.49 on March 5, 2013.
The plaintiff seeks to recover damages.
Those who purchased shares of Impax Laboratories Inc have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. by e-mail at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1 (858) 779-1554.
