New York, New York

Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities and shareholder rights law firm, is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Pacira” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PCRX).

On September 25, 2014, the Company announced that it received a Warning Letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) Office of Prescription Drug Promotion referencing certain promotional materials for EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension), an injectable drug that numbs post-surgical pain.

In the letter, the FDA said Pacira promotes its drug EXPAREL as being able to work for up to 72 hours when it has only been approved for 24-hour pain relief. “These claims overstate Exparel’s efficacy and are misleading,” the FDA said in the letter.

On this news, shares of Pacira fell $11.66 per share to $94.62, or more than 12%, on September 25, 2014.
