Sientra Fails to Disclose Quality Control Risks at its Manufacturing Plant

According to the complaint, Sientra officials failed to disclose that Sientra's exclusive reliance on Silimed's Brazilian manufacturing facilities carried significant quality control risks and that the manufacturing processes at the Silimed Rio de Janeiro manufacturing plant were contaminated. On March 18, 2015, Sientra filed its Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which stated that it was primarily responsible for the manufacturing and quality assurance of its products. The report further stated that when the company receives products from Silimed, it inspects the products prior to shipping them to its customers. 

On September 24, 2015, the United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency suspended sales of Silimed products after an audit of Silimed's manufacturing processes revealed contamination in the manufacturing plant. On this news, Sientra stock fell $10.88, or nearly 52.9%, to close at $9.70 per share on September 24, 2015.
