Penumbra, Inc. (PEN) Securities Class Action:
The complaint alleges that Penumbra misled investors about the company's Jet 7 Xtra Flex, a flagship product for treating strokes.
According to the complaint, Defendants repeatedly assured investors that the Jet 7 Xtra Flex was "absolutely safe," "exactly what we hoped it would be," and "not a product that has any possibility of needing to be recalled." In truth, Defendants allegedly knew that (1) the Jet 7 Xtra Flex had known design defects that made it unsafe for its normal use; (2) that Penumbra did not adequately address the risk of Jet 7 Xtra Flex causing serious injury and deaths, which had in fact already occurred; and (3) that the Jet 7 Xtra Flex was likely to be recalled due to its safety issues.
The truth emerged through a series of disclosures ending on Dec. 15, 2020, when Penumbra announced it was voluntarily recalling all configurations of its JET 7 Xtra Flex device because it may be susceptible to damage during use and subsequent patient injury or death.
These events have driven the price of Penumbra shares sharply lower.
"We're focused on investor losses and proving Penumbra misled investors about the Jet 7 device's safety," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
