A class action lawsuit has been filed against DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (NASDAQ: XRAY), a major dental equipment and technology company, alleging significant misconduct related to its Byte direct-to-consumer aligner product. The lawsuit, covering the period from May 6, 2021, to November 6, 2024, claims that DENTSPLY made false and misleading statements about Byte's operations and failed to disclose critical information to investors.
According to the complaint, DENTSPLY allegedly targeted low-income individuals for its Byte aligners, often selling to patients with underlying dental issues that should have made them ineligible for treatment. The lawsuit further alleges that the company's push for growth led to sales employees selling to contraindicated patients, resulting in numerous reports of patient injuries.
The legal action claims that DENTSPLY was aware of these injuries for years but failed to properly investigate or notify the FDA as required. This alleged negligence has potentially exposed the company to regulatory scrutiny and financial liabilities. Moreover, the lawsuit asserts that DENTSPLY materially overstated the goodwill value of Byte, which could have significant implications for the company's financial statements and investor confidence.
This legal challenge comes at a critical time for the dental industry, which has been adapting to new technologies and direct-to-consumer models. The allegations, if proven, could have far-reaching consequences for DENTSPLY's reputation, market position, and financial health. It also raises broader questions about oversight and patient safety in the rapidly growing teledentistry sector.
Investors who purchased DENTSPLY common stock during the specified period are encouraged to consider joining the class action by the lead plaintiff deadline of January 27, 2025. The outcome of this lawsuit could potentially impact shareholder value and may lead to increased regulatory scrutiny of the dental technology industry as a whole.
