According to the lawsuit, on September 4, 2013, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") posted a letter notifying the Company that it was unlawfully manufacturing drugs at one of its plants. Specifically, the "Untitled Letter," dated August 28, 2013, concerned MiMedx's amniotic/chorionic-based products, including AmnioFix Injectable, AccelShield Injectable, and EpiFix Injectable, intended for reducing inflammation and scar tissue formation, as well as for enhancing soft tissue wound healing.

According to the FDA's Untitled Letter, "[n]one of the amniotic/chorionic-based products...are the subject of an approved biologics license application... nor are there [investigational new drug applications] in effect for any of these products. Based on this information, we have determined that your actions have violated the [Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic] Act and the [Public Health Service] Act."

On September 4, 2013, MiMedx confirmed its receipt of the Untitled Letter from the FDA. On this news, MiMedx's stock fell more than 36%, to close at $3.85 per share. As a result of the foregoing news, on September 13, 2013, a MiMedx shareholder represented by another law firm filed a class action complaint against MiMedx for federal securities fraud.  The complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, Case No. 1:13-cv-3074.

On December 4, 2015, an announcement was made that the lawsuit has been settled for $2,979,000.
