Investigation Overview
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent law firm specializing in securities litigation, has launched an investigation into Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX) concerning potential claims on behalf of investors who suffered losses. This investigation arises from significant concerns regarding the company's Novum LVP (Large Volume Pump) medical devices, which are alleged to have systemic defects leading to severe malfunctions.
Background of Baxter International
Baxter International, a leading global healthcare company, has been a trusted name for decades, known for its innovative products and commitment to patient safety. However, recent developments have raised eyebrows among investors and consumers alike. Allegations suggest that various flaws in the Novum LVP may expose patients to life-threatening risks, including incidents of underinfusion, overinfusion, and even complete failures in delivering fluids.
Legal Landscape
As part of the probe, Faruqi & Faruqi is examining whether Baxter’s executives violated federal securities laws by providing false or misleading information about the safety and efficacy of its products. Reports indicate that Baxter was aware of multiple malfunctions and incidents of harm resulting from these defects but failed to take adequate remedial measures.
The investigation also coincides with a federal securities class action lawsuit against Baxter, in which investors have until
December 15, 2025, to apply for the role of lead plaintiff. The lead plaintiff typically acts on behalf of others in the class, guiding the litigation process and ensuring the interests of all affected parties are represented.
Impact on Investors
The alleged failure of Baxter to maintain transparency about the Novum LVP devices culminated in a significant drop in the company’s stock price. Following an announcement on
July 31, 2025, that the company would temporarily halt shipments and installations of the Novum LVP, shares plummeted by
22.4% to a closing price of
$21.76. This dramatic turn of events underscores the importance of investor vigilance and highlights the potential risks associated with healthcare investments.
