WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 23, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Andrews & Springer LLC, a boutique securities class action law firm focused on representing shareholders nationwide, announced today an update to the pending securities fraud class action lawsuit filed against Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. NUS ("Nu Skin" or the "Company") Case No. 2:14-cv-00033-DB.

From January 21, 2014 through March 24, 2014, seven lawsuits were filed against Nu Skin in the United States District Court for the District of Utah alleging violations of federal securities laws. In summary, the complaints allege that, between July 10, 2013 and January 14, 2014, Nu Skin made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. More specifically, the complaints charge Nu Skin and certain of its executive officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and allege that the defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose or indicate that: (i) the Company's operations in China were based on pyramid selling schemes in violation of People's Republic of China ("PRC") law; (ii) the Company's revenues would be significantly impacted when such practices came to light; (iii) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (iv) as a result, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On May 1, 2014, the Court consolidated all seven cases. On June 30, 2014 a consolidated complaint was filed and defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on August 29, 2014.

On February 18, 2015, the Court denied Nu Skin's motion to dismiss. The litigation is now proceeding to the discovery phase.
