The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (“Labcorp” or “the Company”) (NYSE: LH) for violations of the securities laws.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. A New York Times article published on January 1, 2022, questions the accuracy of noninvasive prenatal tests including those offered by Labcorp. According to the article, the Company’s tests are incorrect up to 85% of the time. False positives result in follow-up testing which "can cost thousands of dollars, come with a small risk of miscarriage and can't be performed until later in pregnancy." This high rate of inaccuracy occurs despite the Company using language stressing the test’s accuracy. Based on this news, shares of Labcorp fell by 5% on January 3, 2022.
