), one of the fastest growing distributors of wireless handsets in the United States and Latin America, responded to reports that several law firms have purportedly filed class action lawsuits class action lawsuit

A lawsuit in which one party or a limited number of parties sue on behalf of a larger group to which the parties belong. For example, investors may bring a class action lawsuit against a brokerage firm that has actively promoted a tax
 against the Company and certain officers related to the restatement of the Company's first quarter financial statements. While at least seven law firms have publicly disseminated press releases over the past few days implying that they have filed lawsuits against InfoSonics Corporation, the Company's preliminary investigation has revealed that two lawsuits seeking class action status have been filed (by three of the firms that issued press releases this week). The remaining four law firms that implied in their press releases that they also filed lawsuits had not done so at the time of their releases and the Company has no knowledge that they have since filed actual lawsuits.

The Company believes its actions raised in the lawsuits were appropriate and intends to vigorously defend them.
