LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portnoy Law Firm advises ICU Medical, Inc. (ICUI) investors that the firm has initiated an investigation into alleged violations of securities laws, and may file a lawsuit on behalf of investors.

The investigation focuses on whether the company’s officers and directors misled investors concerning the company’s compliance with relevant best practices in the production of the company’s Lactated Ringer’s Injection, USP. On May 8, 2020, ICU announced that the Company was “voluntarily recalling one single lot of Lactated Ringer’s Injection, USP,” advising that “[t]he products are being recalled to the hospital/user level due to the presence of particulate matter identified as iron oxide” and cautioning that “[a]dministration of a drug product that contains metal particulate matter could result in adverse events ranging from inflammation at the site of injection to more serious events that could include the formation of a blood clot obstructing the flow of blood which could lead to end-organ damage or death.”
On this news, ICU’s stock price fell $19.26 per share, or 8.86%, to close at $198.10 per share on May 8, 2020.
