LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2020 / The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Chembio Diagnostics, Inc.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Chembio's COVID-19 antibody test was among the first to be granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the FDA in April. The FDA revoked the Company's EUA on June 17, 2020, based on concerns of test accuracy. According to the FDA, the "benefits no longer outweigh its risks" and that "it is not reasonable to believe that the test may be effective" because it "generates a higher than expected rate of false results and higher than that reflected in the authorized labeling for the device." Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Chembio, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
