Faruqi & Faruqi Takes Action on DENTSPLY SIRONA Investors' Claims Ahead of Deadline

Legal Investigation Announced for DENTSPLY SIRONA Investors

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a national law firm focused on securities litigation, has opened an investigation into potential claims relating to DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. as the deadline for affected investors approaches. This investigation specifically targets investors who acquired securities of the company between February 28, 2022, and November 6, 2024.

Background on DENTSPLY SIRONA

DENTSPLY SIRONA, known for its dental products and technologies, has faced scrutiny in light of allegations that it violated federal securities laws. Investors are encouraged to reach out before January 27, 2025, if they have suffered losses during the specified period.

Allegations Details

The complaint against DENTSPLY highlights several serious claims:
1. Targeting Vulnerable Populations: DENTSPLY is accused of targeting low-income individuals lacking access to proper dental care, which may have led to inappropriate patient sign-ups with underlying dental issues.
2. Inadequate Patient Onboarding: Sales tactics aimed at increasing growth may have compromised the safety protocols intended to ensure only suitable patients engaged with their Byte aligners.
3. Failure to Report Injuries: Reports indicate that DENTSPLY knew about injuries related to Byte products but failed to notify authorities or take necessary action.
4. Misleading Statements: The company allegedly made misleading statements regarding its business health and future prospects, misleading investors about the value and safety of its products.

The reality of these concerns became evident on October 24, 2024, when DENTSPLY announced a voluntary halt of sales and marketing for its Byte product line, citing the need to review regulatory compliance. This “precautionary measure” led to a significant decline in the company's stock value, reflecting the rapid loss of investor confidence.

Timeline of Significant Events

1. October 24, 2024: DENTSPLY suspends Byte sales, affecting stock prices negatively.
2. October 25, 2024: Following news of the suspension, stock prices fell further, signaling market concern.
3. November 7, 2024: The company reported substantial non-cash charges for goodwill impairment and indicated potential strategic discontinuations.

Legal Outreach

Faruqi & Faruqi’s team has urged investors with losses or those possessing information regarding DENTSPLY's conduct to contact them directly, especially whistleblowers or former employees, who may have critical insights. Investors have the option to be part of a class action or could seek to become lead plaintiffs if they meet certain criteria. The latter role includes directing and overseeing litigation on behalf of the entire class of affected investors.

Conclusion

The continuing investigation presents a crucial opportunity for DENTSPLY’s investors to reclaim their losses. As the January 27, 2025 deadline approaches, affected shareholders must evaluate their options, ranging from participating in the ongoing class action to seeking individual legal counsel. This situation serves as a reminder of the minute balances in investor relations and regulatory compliance within publicly traded companies, especially in sensitive sectors like healthcare.
