Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Continues To Investigate Boston Scientific Corporation (BSX)

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) has been  investigating potential claims against Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) ("BSX" or the "Company") for violations of the federal securities laws. 

BSX's Lotus Edge is a transcatheter aortic value replacement. The FDA approved the Lotus Edge in April 2019 for patients with severe aortic stenosis, while clinical trials were run in 2020 for patients with intermediate risk. 

On November 17, 2020, before the market opened, BSX announced "it initiated a global, voluntary recall of all unused inventory of the LOTUS Edge^™ Aortic Valve System due to complexities associated with the product delivery system."  Further, the Company disclosed that "[g]iven the additional time and investment required to develop and reintroduce an enhanced delivery system, the company has chosen to retire the entire LOTUS product platform immediately. All related commercial, clinical, research & development and manufacturing activities will also cease."  BSX's stated that its decision "is expected to result in estimated total pre-tax GAAP charges of approximately $225 million to $300 million due to inventory, fixed asset, intangible asset and certain other exit charges and approximately $100 million to $150 million of these charges will impact the company's adjusted results."

On November 17, 2020, BSX shares declined from a closing price on November 16, 2020 of $38.03 per share, to close at $35.07 per share, a decline of $2.96 per share or approximately 8%, on heavier than usual volume.
