The investigation is related to recent allegations that PhotoMedex has misrepresented the efficacy of its products and misled investors with regards to its financial performance. 

Specifically, a recent article by TheStreetSweeper identified key areas of concern:  (1) Certain insiders dogged by volatile and litigious history; (2) Key product, already down in the U.S. versus last year, rests on flimsy, weak studies; (3) Study shows key product, no!no! Hair Removal System, works no better than shaving. Further verified by significant consumer rancor. (4) Possible consumer class action litigation may be looming; (5) Disappointing earnings ahead; and (6) Massive insider selling precedes planned $30 million stock buyback.

As a result of the above, the stock is down $2.81 per share or 18.23% from its close of $15.41 per share on October 16, 2013.
