Lawsuit Against Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc.
00:20 04.12.13

PR Newswire

WAYNE, Pa., Dec. 3, 2013


WAYNE, Pa., Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan & Maniskas, LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. ("Lumber Liquidators" or the "Company") (NYSE: LL) securities between February 22, 2012 and November 21, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period").

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121112/MM11729LOGO )
For more information regarding this class action suit, please contact Ryan & Maniskas, LLP (Richard A. Maniskas, Esquire) toll-free at (877) 316-3218 or by email at rmaniskas@rmclasslaw.com or visit: www.rmclasslaw.com/cases/ll.  

Lumber Liquidators is a multi-channel specialty retailer of hardwood flooring, and hardwood flooring enhancements and accessories, operating as a single business segment.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) certain of the Company's products failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products; (2) the Company imported flooring products sourced from illegally logged wood in the Russian Far East in violation of the Lacey Act; (3) as a result of the foregoing violations, the Company faces the risk of large fines, penalties, forfeitures, judgments and/or settlements in connection with government regulatory actions and/or consumer class actions; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On June 20, 2013, an article published on SeekingAlpha.com alleged that, among other things, testing of one of Lumber Liquidators' branded wood flooring products (imported from China and sold in California) at two accredited independent laboratories found that formaldehyde emissions from the tested product were over 3.5x the maximum legal limit even though the product was labeled as being California Air Resources Board-compliant. On this news, Lumber Liquidators shares declined, over the course of two trading sessions, by $9.40 per share or nearly 11%, to close at $76.63 per share on June 21, 2013.

On September 26, 2013, agents from the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S Fish and Wild Life Service, and the Department of Justice executed sealed search warrants at Lumber Liquidators' corporate offices in Toano and Richmond, Virginia, related to the importation of certain wood products. On this news, Lumber Liquidators shares declined $5.83 per share or more than 5%, to close at $107.13 per share on September 27, 2013.

On November 21, 2013, well known hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson criticized the Company for importing illegally sourced timber from Russia in direct violation of U.S. laws. Mr. Tilson explained that the Company was only able to maintain its unbelievably high margins, and thus inflate its revenues, as a result of importing illegal timber. On this news the Company's shares fell over $16.07 per share, or over 13%, to $99.29 per share over two trading sessions.

If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than January 27, 2014, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class.  Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as "lead plaintiff."  Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.  You may retain Ryan & Maniskas, LLP or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.

and Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. Filed a Consumer Class Action Complaint Against Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. Over Illegal Chinese Wood Flooring Products
18:35 04.12.13

PR Newswire

BOSTON, Dec. 4, 2013

BOSTON, Dec. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Block & Leviton LLP (www.blockesq.com), Hausfeld LLP (www.hausfeldllp.com) and Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. (www.gelaw.com), three of the most prominent class action firms in the United States, announce that they filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. ("Lumber Liquidators" or the "Company") (NYSE: LL).  The case is captioned Williamson, et al. v. Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc., Case No. 1:13-cv-1487 (E.D.Va.).   The class action complaint alleges that Lumber Liquidators sold products to consumers in violation of federal and state laws.

More specifically, the lawsuit arises out of Lumber Liquidators' scheme to import into the United States, and to falsely warrant, advertise, and sell, Chinese wood flooring that fails to comply with the formaldehyde standards and the Lacey Act.

Contrary to its direct representations to consumers, Lumber Liquidators manufactures, sells, and distributes Chinese wood flooring that emits and off-gasses excessive levels of formaldehyde, which is categorized as a known human carcinogen by the United States National Toxicology Program and the International Agency for Research on Cancer.  Although Lumber Liquidators made repeated, detailed representations that its flooring complies with strict formaldehyde standards, the lawsuit alleges that the toxic formaldehyde emissions from the Company's Chinese wood flooring products are well above the maximum permissible limits set by those standards at the time of purchase.

Moreover, the lawsuit alleges that, contrary to its direct representations to consumers, Lumber Liquidators also manufactures, sells, and distributes wood flooring that is illegally sourced through China from other countries (including Russia), threatening critical habitat and endangered species, in violation of the Lacey Act.  Lumber Liquidators' repeated violations of the Lacey Act are detailed in a report entitled "Liquidating the Forests," released by the Environmental Investigation Agency in October 2013.

Block & Leviton initially announced an investigation into Lumber Liquidators on June 26, 2013.  Thereafter, on September 26, 2013, the Company's headquarters in Toano, Virginia and another corporate location in neighboring Richmond, Virginia, were raided by United States Federal Special Agents acting on behalf of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations unit, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Department of Justice.  According to various news sources, the raid seized evidence that Lumber Liquidators is importing wood products harvested from forests in eastern Russia (which are then processed across the border in China) that are the habitat of critically endangered wildlife species, including the Siberian tiger, of which there are an estimated 450 remaining in the world.

Following the filing of the lawsuit, attorney Jason M. Leviton stated:  "Lumber Liquidators' egregious misconduct was a breach of their express and implied warranties and has caused significant harm to purchasers of the Company's Chinese-sourced wood flooring products.  Quite simply, consumers would not have purchased, or would have paid substantially less for, products that contain toxic levels of formaldehyde or that were sourced illegally from critical habitats, both of which were done in violation of federal and state laws.  We will do everything in our power to make sure this conduct ceases and that consumers are adequately compensated for the damages they sustained resulting from Lumber Liquidators' improper conduct."

If you would like a copy of the complaint, please visit Block & Leviton's website at www.blockesq.com.  Or, if have information relevant to the lawsuit, or would like to discuss your legal rights, consumers who have purchased Lumber Liquidators' Chinese wood flooring products are encouraged to contact one or more of the following attorneys:

Action Has Been Filed Against Lumber Liquidators, Inc.
18:15 17.12.13

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2013

NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP today announced that a securities class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on behalf of purchasers (the "Class") of securities of Lumber Liquidators, Inc. ("Lumber Liquidators" or the "Company") (NYSE: LL) during the period between February 22, 2012 and November 21, 2013 (the "Class Period").

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120202/MM47134LOGO)

Lumber Liquidators is a multi-channel specialty retailer of hardwood flooring and hardwood flooring enhancements and accessories.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) certain of the Company's products failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products; (2) the Company imported flooring products sourced from illegally logged wood in the Russian Far East in violation of the Lacey Act; (3) as a result of the foregoing violations, the Company faces the risk of large fines, penalties, forfeitures, judgments and/or settlements in connection with government regulatory actions and/or consumer class actions; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On June 20, 2013, an article published on SeekingAlpha.com alleged that, among other things, testing of one of Lumber Liquidators' branded wood flooring products (imported from China and sold in California) at two accredited independent laboratories found that formaldehyde emissions from the tested product were over 3.5 times the maximum legal limit even though the product was labeled as being California Air Resources Board-compliant. On this news, Lumber Liquidators shares declined, over the course of two trading sessions, by $9.40 per share or nearly 11%, to close at $76.63 per share on June 21, 2013.

On September 26, 2013, agents from the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Department of Justice executed sealed search warrants at Lumber Liquidators' corporate offices in Toano and Richmond, Virginia, related to the importation of certain wood products. On this news, Lumber Liquidators shares declined $5.83 per share or more than 5%, to close at $107.13 per share on September 27, 2013.

On November 21, 2013, hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson criticized the Company for importing illegally sourced timber from Russia in direct violation of U.S. laws.  Tilson explained that the Company was only able to maintain its unbelievably high margins, and thus inflate its revenues, as a result of importing illegal timber.  On this news, the Company's shares fell over $16.07 per share, or over 13%, to $99.29 per share over two trading sessions.

Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of all Class members who invested in Lumber Liquidators securities during the Class Period.  If you invested in Lumber Liquidators securities as described above, and either lost money on the transaction or still hold the security, you may wish to join in this action to serve as lead plaintiff.  In order to do so, you must meet certain requirements set forth in the applicable law and file appropriate papers no later than January 27, 2014.

A "lead plaintiff" is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class.  Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as lead plaintiff.  Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.  You may retain Bernstein Liebhard LLP, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.

If you are interested in discussing your rights as a Lumber Liquidators shareholder and/or have information relating to the matter, please contact Joseph R. Seidman, Jr. at (877) 779-1414 or seidman@bernlieb.com.

Bernstein Liebhard LLP has pursued hundreds of securities, consumer and shareholder rights cases and recovered over $3 billion for its clients.  It has been named to The National Law Journal's "Plaintiffs' Hot List" in each of the last ten years.

You can obtain a copy of the complaint from the clerk of the court for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Since 2006, Lumber Liquidators has donated more than $850,000 to help the organization sustain its mission.

"Our partnership with Lumber Liquidators helps promote literacy among blind children and provides access to information for blind and visually-impaired people. Braille remains relevant, especially in the digital age," said Brian MacDonald, President of National Braille Press. "Lumber Liquidators makes a positive impact in the lives of many people through our partnership and we're grateful for their support."

National Braille Press programs and services focus on literacy for young children, education and braille technology in the digital age. This includes early braille reading for young children and access to educational materials and original books published by blind authors on topics such as braille technology.

I am very proud that Lumber Liquidators has supported this wonderful charity to the extent we have."

has filed a Class Action Against Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. and Certain Officers - LL
14:05 20.12.13

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2013

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Lumber Liquidators, Inc.  ("Lumber Liquidators" or the "Company") (NYSE: LL) and certain of its officers.  The class action, filed in United States District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Lumber Liquidators securities between February 22, 2012 and November 21, 2013 both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.

If you are a shareholder who purchased Lumber Liquidators securities during the Class Period, you have until January 27, 2014 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class.  A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com.  To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free, x237. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and number of shares purchased.

Lumber Liquidators is a multi-channel specialty retailer of hardwood flooring, and hardwood flooring enhancements and accessories, operating as a single business segment.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) certain of the Company's products failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products; (2) the Company imported flooring products sourced from illegally logged wood in the Russian Far East in violation of the Lacey Act; (3) as a result of the foregoing violations, the Company faces the risk of large fines, penalties, forfeitures, judgments and/or settlements in connection with government regulatory actions and/or consumer class actions; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On June 20, 2013, an article published on SeekingAlpha.com alleged that, among other things, testing of one of Lumber Liquidators' branded wood flooring products (imported from China and sold in California) at two accredited independent laboratories found that formaldehyde emissions from the tested product were over 3.5x the maximum legal limit even though the product was labeled as being California Air Resources Board-compliant.  On this news, Lumber Liquidators shares declined, over the course of two trading sessions, by $9.40 per share or nearly 11%, to close at $76.63 per share on June 21, 2013.

On September 26, 2013, agents from the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S Fish and Wild Life Service, and the Department of Justice executed sealed search warrants at Lumber Liquidators' corporate offices in Toano and Richmond, Virginia, related to the importation of certain wood products.  On this news, Lumber Liquidators shares declined $5.83 per share or more than 5%, to close at $107.13 per share on September 27, 2013.

On November 21, 2013, well known hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson criticized the Company for importing illegally sourced timber from Russia in direct violation of U.S. laws. Mr. Tilson explained that the Company was only able to maintain its unbelievably high margins, and thus inflate its revenues, as a result of importing illegal timber.  On this news the Company's shares fell over $16.07 per share, or over 13%, to $99.29 per share over two trading sessions.

The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Florida, and San Diego, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 70 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

TOANO, Va., Jan. 17, 2014

TOANO, Va., Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL), the largest specialty retailer of hardwood flooring in North America, has empowered people to unleash their potential through its ongoing support for No Barriers USA. The organization is committed to inspiring disabled individuals to live full, meaningful lives, without barriers.


(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130604/MM25930LOGO )

Tom Sullivan, Founder and Chairman of Lumber Liquidators, remarked, "The obstacles disabled people face everyday with courage and determination make what the average American stresses about pale in comparison. Lumber Liquidators is very proud to support No Barriers and their beneficiaries who consistently inspire us to be better."

Lumber Liquidators' roots with No Barriers USA go back to 2001, when Sullivan was inspired by blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer and decided to support his quest to reach the summit of Mount Everest. After becoming the first blind climber to scale the world's tallest mountain, Weihenmayer sought to empower others to discover their potential – regardless of physical condition – and co-founded No Barriers in 2005.

"Lumber Liquidators has been a wonderful partner in supporting people who face challenges ranging from amputations to back problems," said Erik Weihenmayer, Board Vice President of No Barriers USA. "The generosity of Lumber Liquidators helps us break down barriers for these individuals, and empower them to explore what's possible – whether that means climbing a mountain or just getting up the stairs."

Lumber Liquidators has been a major sponsor of the biannual No Barriers Summit since the first U.S. event in 2007. The event brings together people with varying disabilities and abilities, featuring activities designed to intellectually, emotionally and physically challenge attendees. The No Barriers Summit features keynote addresses, leadership exercises and authentic immersion activities ranging from rock climbing and biking to photography and painting.

Lumber Liquidators supports No Barriers USA and a wide range of Weihenmayer's other initiatives through its philanthropic program, Lay It Forward. The guiding principle of Lay It Forward is supporting organizations that will benefit generations to come, a vision that also drives the enduring quality of Lumber Liquidators' products. Installing a hardwood floor is an investment by homeowners – it lasts for years and grows in character as an element of a home's beauty. By sustaining the Lay It Forward program now, Lumber Liquidators believes its investment will have a similar and lasting impact.
