NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders of Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (NASDAQ:OCUL) who purchased shares between May 5, 2017 and July 6, 2017. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws.

In particular, the complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (1) Ocular Therapeutix's management has been misleading investors about DEXTENZA manufacturing issues, including that more than 50% of lots manufactured by Ocular Therapeutix contain bad product; (2) such manufacturing issues could impact the approval of DEXTENZA by the FDA; and (3) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading.

Shareholders have until September 5, 2017 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.
