ROBBINS GELLER RUDMAN & DOWD LLP ANNOUNCES LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE IN THE LIFEMD, INC. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers of LifeMD, Inc. (NASDAQ:LFMD) securities between January 19, 2021 and April 13, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”) have until June 15, 2021 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the LifeMD class action lawsuit, Cho v. LifeMD, Inc., No. 21-cv-04004 (S.D.N.Y.), which is assigned to Judge Paul A. Crotty.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased LifeMD securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the LifeMD class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the LifeMD class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the LifeMD class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the LifeMD class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the LifeMD class action lawsuit or have questions concerning your rights regarding the LifeMD class action lawsuit, please provide your information here or contact counsel, Danielle S. Myers of Robbins Geller, at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058 or via e-mail at danim@rgrdlaw.com. Lead plaintiff motions for the LifeMD class action lawsuit must be filed with the court no later than June 15, 2021.

LifeMD is a direct-to-patient telehealth company. LifeMD offers a telemedicine platform that purports to help patients access licensed providers for diagnoses, virtual care, and prescription medications. LifeMD was previously known as Conversion Labs, Inc., and its common stock traded on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol “CVLB.” LifeMD’s name was changed effective February 19, 2021, and the stock symbol changed effective February 22, 2021.

The LifeMD class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) many of LifeMD’s executives were associated with Redwood Scientific Technologies, Inc. (“Redwood Scientific”) when it was charged for unlawful autoshipping, abusive telemarketing, and false claims, and that they employed similar practices at LifeMD; (ii) LifeMD engaged in autoshipping products to unwilling customers to record recurring revenue and LifeMD made it difficult to cancel such subscriptions; (iii) certain of the purportedly licensed physicians on LifeMD’s platform were not in fact licensed and faced disciplinary action; (iv) as a result of the foregoing practices, LifeMD was reasonably likely to face regulatory scrutiny and/or reputational harm; and (v) consequently, defendants’ positive statements about LifeMD’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On April 14, 2021, Culper Research issued a report alleging that:“LifeMD appears to use unlicensed doctors to dispense OTC medications, has implemented an autoshipping/autobilling scheme, failed to honor guarantees, and put in place abusive telemarketing practices.” The report also alleged that several of LifeMD’s executives were involved in “wide ranging fraud” at Redwood Scientific, which was charged by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for “unlawful autoshipping, abusive telemarketing, and false claims.” Specifically, according to Culper Research, “many customers are effectively duped into purchasing subscriptions rather than one-time purchases” and LifeMD “makes cancellations difficult if not impossible.” On this news, LifeMD’s share price fell approximately 24%, damaging investors.
