Afternoon’s Trade Under Consideration - Lumber Liquidators Holdings, (NYSE:LL), Hercules Offshore, (NASDAQ:HERO), Puma Biotechnology, (NYSE:PBYI)

On Tuesday, in the course of current trade, Shares of Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:LL), gained 4.79%, and is now trading at $22.10.

Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc.’s stock bounced sharply off multiyear lows Monday, as investors digested the company’s explanation as to why it held some wood flooring products, then relabeled them with new safety-standard certificate numbers.

In “response to inquiries,” the company issued a statement via a regulatory filing:

“Lumber Liquidators discovered in an internal review that a supplier had comprised of an inapplicable [California Air Resources Board] certificate number on the label for a limited number of engineered hardwood flooring products. This labeling issue does not impact the CARB Phase II emissions compliance for these products. After consultation with our advisors and out of an abundance of caution, we held the products until the labeling could be revised,” the company said in the filing. “The revised labels remove the inapplicable certificate number, but retain the supplier’s statement that the product is CARB Phase II compliant. We have advised the California regulators that we relabeled the products to address this matter.” MarketWatch Reports.
