Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Announces That A Class Action Has Been Filed Against Impax Laboratories Inc.
NEW YORK, March 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC announces that a class action suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Impax Laboratories Inc. ("Impax" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: IPXL) between June 6, 2011 through March 4, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period").
The complaint charges Impax and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company failed to maintain proper quality control and manufacturing practices at its Hayward facility in violation of current GMP; (2) the Company failed to take proper remedial actions to correct quality control issues previously identified by the FDA in prior inspections at the Hayward facility; and (3) the Company failed to disclose the extent of the adverse impact the manufacturing deficiencies at the Hayward facility could have on the Company's ability to successfully launch its new drug, Rytary.
On March 4, 2013, the Company disclosed that the FDA issued a new Form 483 with twelve observations, three of which are designated as repeat observations from past inspections. New and pending applications that relate to the Hayward, California manufacturing facility may be withheld by the FDA until the Form 483 problems are solved. The FDA sent Impax a warning letter in January 2011 based on an inspection of the Hayward, Calif., plant, and found other problems in a March 2012 inspection. The March 2012 inspection, the FDA said the original problems had been addressed, but it found problems in its quality control laboratory. On this news, Shares of Impax stock were down over 26% or $5.20 per share to close at $14.80 on March 5, 2013.
