Izard Nobel LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Hansen Medical, Inc.
The law firm of Izard Nobel LLP, which
has significant experience representing investors in prosecuting claims of
securities fraud, announces that a lawsuit seeking class action status has
been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California on behalf of those who purchased the common stock of Hansen
Medical, Inc. ("Hansen" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HNSN) between May 1,
2008 and October 18, 2009 (the "Class Period").
The Complaint charges that Hansen and certain of its officers and directors
violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading
statements regarding the Company's financial results and compliance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Specifically, the Company
improperly recognized revenue associated with the sale of its Sensei
Robotic Catheter systems. As a result of defendants' false and misleading
statements, Hansen's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during
the Class Period, reaching a high of $19.57 per share on May 13, 2008.
Then on October 19, 2009, Hansen announced that it would be restating its
financial results for 2008 and for the first and second quarters of 2009
due to its failure to properly account for its revenue as a result of an
investigation by the Company's audit committee. The audit committee's
investigation was prompted by an anonymous "whistleblower" report the
Company received in August 2009.
If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than December 22, 2009,
request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead
plaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other class members in
directing the litigation. Although your ability to share in any recovery
is not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as a
lead plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affect
the overall recovery for class members.
