BusinessWire has just released two ‘alerts’ via their platform for the attention of investors and shareholders. The alerts relate to GoPro and their handling of the Karma drone recall. This will deeply unsettle already frustrated consumers.
The content of each respective alert differs slightly although essentially the message is the same, prompting GoPro consumers, investors and shareholders to participate in a class-action suit against GoPro concerning possible violations of federal securities laws.
The two notices could be deemed simply as advertising by two hopeful law-firms but if proven to be popular amongst shareholders and investors, it could be very damaging for an already declining GoPro stock price.
The ‘investor’ alert contains the following description.
[perfectpullquote align=”full” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]”The investigation focuses on whether GoPro and certain of its officers and/or directors violated federal securities laws. On November 8, 2016, the Company announced a recall of all of its Karma drones, due to instances where “units lost power during operation.” GoPro also announced disappointing third-quarter 2016 financial results on November 4, 2016. When this information was released, shares of GoPro fell in value.”[/perfectpullquote]
Whilst the ‘shareholder’ alert contains a slightly different statement, but ultimately describes the same intention.

The two alerts would appear to be appealing for those financially involved in GoPro to contact the respective law firm, the intention being to seek compensation of damages as a result of the GoPro Karma recall and the way in which the process was managed.
DroningON has contacted Goldberg Law and Khang Law to ask for clarification of the intention, as well as the justification for the investigation in relation to ‘federal law’ offences. We will update this article when we receive a response.
