On May 17, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) issued a warning to Meridian that lead tests conducted by the Company’s subsidiary, Magellan Diagnostics, may be incorrect. According to the FDA, tests performed on blood drawn from a vein has led to “results that are lower than the actual level of lead in the blood.” The FDA has recommended discontinuation of Magellan when testing with venous blood samples. On this news, Meridian shares fell over 9% on May 17, 2017. Then on May 25, 2017, Meridian’s Magellan Diagnostics announced a Class 1 recall of its LeadCare Plus and Ultra Testing Systems due to “inaccurate test results.”

On June 6, 2017 Meridian’s Magellan Diagnostics subsidiary expanded the recall to incorporate the Company’s LeadCare and LeadCare II testing systems. On this news, shares of Meridian traded as low as $13.40 per share.

The complaint alleges that throughout the class period Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Defendant’s lead tests provide inaccurate results; and (2) consequently, Meridian’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
