NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 8, 2013) - Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of investors who purchased Abiomed, Inc. ("Abiomed" or the "Company") (NYSE: [ ABMD ]) stock between August 5, 2011 and October 31, 2012.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Abiomed made materially misleading statements regarding the Company's financial strength and prospects. In particular, it is alleged that positive statements concerning the Company were misleading because the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") repeatedly warned Abiomed that its promotional materials contained inappropriate claims regarding its Impella 2.5 catheter and suggested improper off-label uses. Abiomed repeatedly assured investors that they had addressed the FDA's concerns and that the matter was resolved.

On November 1, 2012, Abiomed disclosed that the Department of Justice had initiated an investigation "focused on the Company's marketing and labeling of the Impella 2.5." On this news, shares of Abiomed's stock fell from $19.82 per share on October 31, 2012 to close at $13.61 on November 1, 2012.

If you suffered a loss in Abiomed you have until January 15, 2013 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
