NEW YORK, June 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationally recognized investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a motion as lead plaintiff in connection with a securities class action lawsuit filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of Apyx Medical Corporation (“Apyx” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: APYX) between May 12, 2021 and March 11, 2022, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Intermediate District of Florida and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Apyx claims to be an advanced energy technology company with products in the cosmetic and surgical markets. Nearly 80% of the Company’s revenue comes from the Advanced Energy segment, which includes Apyx’s helium plasma technology which is marketed and sold as Renuvion (in the cosmetic surgery market) and J- Plasma (in the hospital surgery market).
Plaintiff alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements throughout the Class Period. Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants failed to disclose that: (1) a significant number of Apyx’s Advanced Energy products were used for off-label indications; (2) these off-label uses have resulted in an increase in the number of medical device reports filed by Apyx of serious adverse events; (3) as a result, the Company was reasonably likely to be subject to regulatory review; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial results would be adversely affected.
On March 14, 2022, Apyx announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) would issue a Medical Device Safety Notice (“MDSC”) regarding the company’s advanced energy products. The Company further revealed that “[b]Based on our initial interactions with the FDA, we believe the Agency’s MDSC will relate to the use of our Advanced Energy products outside of their FDA-approved indication for general use in cutting, coagulation, and soft tissue removal during open and laparoscopic surgical procedures. .”
At this news, the company’s shares fell more than 40%, to close at $5.88 per share on March 14, 2022.
If you wish to act as the main plaintiff, you must apply to the court no later than August 5, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members to direct litigation. Your ability to participate in any recovery does not require you to serve as the primary plaintiff. If you choose to do nothing, you can remain an absent member of the group.
