ICU Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICUI) is currently under the microscope as Pomerantz LLP investigates potential securities fraud or unlawful business practices. This inquiry follows a warning from the FDA regarding unauthorized changes to ICU's infusion pump products, which were deemed "adulterated" and "misbranded." The FDA's concerns about the devices' functionality and safety have prompted questions about ICU's regulatory disclosures.

This drop reflects investor concerns about the potential financial and reputational damage to the company. Despite this, on May 20, 2025, Chung Kevin, ICU's Chief Medical Officer, purchased 4,500 shares at $1.25 each, increasing his total ownership to 18,185 shares.
