LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2020 / The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Cheetah Mobile Inc. ("Cheetah" or "the Company") (NYSE:CMCM) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors who purchased the Company's securities between March 25, 2019 and February 20, 2020, inclusive (the ''Class Period''), are encouraged to contact the firm before August 24, 2020.

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Cheetah's apps failed to maintain compliance with agreements with Google. Based on this compliance failure, it was reasonably likely that Google would terminate advertising contracts with the Company. This would in turn lead to a decline in revenue. Based on the facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Cheetah, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.

EDISON, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2020 / Hepion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:HEPA), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapeutic drugs for the treatment of liver disease arising from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ("NASH"), today announced the advancement to the final dose level in its ongoing clinical trial of CRV431, a Phase 1b multiple ascending dose ("MAD") study.

The open-label MAD study is designed to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of CRV431, administered orally to healthy volunteers, once daily for 28 days. To date, the study has examined doses of 75 mg, 150 mg, 225 mg and 300 mg.

The Clinical Trial Management team has reviewed the 300 mg cohort data and determined this dosing level to be safe and well tolerated, authorizing advancement to the final dosing level of 375 mg daily for 28 days.

"We initially planned to proceed only to the 300 mg dosing level, as we believe the dose required to demonstrate efficacy in future NASH trials will not exceed 300 mg," said Dr. Patrick Mayo, Hepion's Senior Vice-President, Clinical Pharmacology. "However, we have not yet observed any dose-limiting side effects, even at 300 mg. As such, we decided to add one final dosing cohort of 375 mg to fully evaluate safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of CRV431. This study has demonstrated that steady-state CRV431 concentrations achieved at a 75 mg daily dose are in the range that demonstrates efficacy in animal models and human liver tissue. This suggests that the dosing range captured in this study effectively explored clinically relevant exposures."

Dr. Stephen Harrison, Hepion's Consultant Medical Director added, "We are exceedingly pleased that CRV431 continues to be very well tolerated throughout the entire Phase 1 program, which well positions Hepion for our upcoming Phase 2a clinical trial in NASH patients."

About Hepion Pharmaceuticals

Hepion Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of targeted therapies for liver disease arising from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and other types of hepatitis. The Company's lead drug candidate, CRV431, reduces liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma tumor burden in experimental models of NASH. Preclinical studies also have demonstrated antiviral activities towards HBV, HCV, and HDV through several mechanisms. These diverse therapeutic activities result from CRV431's potent inhibition of cyclophilins, which are involved in many disease processes. Currently in clinical phase development, CRV431 shows potential to play an important role in the overall treatment of liver disease – from triggering events through to end-stage disease.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "anticipate," "believe," "forecast," "estimated," and "intend," among others. These forward-looking statements are based on Hepion Pharmaceuticals' current expectations and actual results could differ materially. There are a number of factors that could cause actual events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, substantial competition; our ability to continue as a going concern; our need for additional financing; uncertainties of patent protection and litigation; risks associated with delays, increased costs and funding shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; uncertainties with respect to lengthy and expensive clinical trials, that results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future trial results; uncertainties of government or third party payer reimbursement; limited sales and marketing efforts and dependence upon third parties; and risks related to failure to obtain FDA clearances or approvals and noncompliance with FDA regulations. As with any drug candidates under development, there are significant risks in the development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of new products. There are no guarantees that future clinical trials discussed in this press release will be completed or successful, or that any product will receive regulatory approval for any indication or prove to be commercially successful. Hepion Pharmaceuticals does not undertake an obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement. Investors should read the risk factors set forth in Hepion Pharmaceuticals' Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As fireworks sales surge, Phantom Fireworks, the country's leading consumer fireworks retailer, emphasizes lawful fireworks use and customer safety this Fourth of July amid public fireworks display cancellations and social distancing measures.

The majority of public fireworks displays have been cancelled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a significant increase in personal fireworks sales.
Phantom Fireworks urges responsible, law abiding at-home fireworks use, based on readily available consumer education to ensure a safe, fun alternative during this year's unique holiday experience – that also falls on a Saturday for the first time in five years.

Phantom Fireworks is emphasizing Fireworks Courtesy in use as many more Americans are using consumer fireworks for the first time this year.
In response to the growing spread of COVID-19 and in an effort to protect the safety of employees and customers, Phantom Fireworks stores and showrooms asks that all customers please wear masks and practice increased social distancing measures – that may include limiting shopping inside the store during high traffic periods.
Phantom Fireworks will continue to work in-person with customers to accommodate their shopping needs while making safety the top priority.

YOUNGSTOWN, OH / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2020 / Phantom Fireworks, the leading consumer fireworks retailer in the country, is urging responsible, lawful, courteous and safe fireworks use this year, as the majority of public and community fireworks displays are cancelled due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

This year's personal fireworks sales have surged industry wide, including at Phantom Fireworks, increasing the need to promote safe and courteous fireworks standards. Many communities have also seen earlier fireworks activity by individuals, prompting the need to remind consumers to be aware of state and local laws surrounding personal fireworks usage – and use the products legally.

Phantom Fireworks has a longstanding history of supporting industry safety measures and has comprehensive information on its website outlining state regulations surrounding fireworks usage. (www.fireworks.com/education-and-safety)

Among key safety measures recommended (www.youtube.com/watch?v=sshgnRGdxBY&feature=youtu.be), Phantom Fireworks urges users to:

Take time to review and ensure fireworks use is compliant with local and state laws.
Fireworks, including sparklers, should be handled by sober adults, never children.
Set up and stabilize fireworks on hard, flat surfaces.
Have water readily available (a connected hose is best, a fire extinguisher or bucket of water).
Consider weather conditions and do not shoot fireworks during high winds.
Wear safety gear (glasses and gloves) and use a flashlight when lighting fireworks at night.
Keep pets inside during fireworks use (the noise can frighten animals).

See Phantom's complete list of safety tips at: https://fireworks.com/education-and-safety/safety-tips.

Phantom has instituted a "Please Practice Fireworks Courtesy" campaign with a section on our website outlining the recommended steps to take to practice fireworks courtesy such as:

Don't shoot fireworks late at night.
Let your neighbors know when you plan to shoot fireworks.
Follow the laws of your local jurisdiction.

"Legal, courteous and safe fireworks use is our top priority at Phantom Fireworks – particularly this year as we have seen an unprecedented increase in personal fireworks purchases due to COVID-19 crowd restrictions and the cancellation of public shows," said Bill Weimer, Vice President of Phantom Fireworks. "If consumers take the time to follow safety and legal protocols, fireworks use and safety can go hand-in-hand and people can find a way to celebrate this unique holiday season safely."

Phantom Fireworks is a founding member of the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory (AFSL). Founded in 1994, the AFSL is an independent, non-profit with the primary goal to improve the quality and safety of the fireworks industry in the U.S. All consumer fireworks imported by Phantom Fireworks go through the AFSL testing process before being sold to consumers.

Because of the pandemic's ongoing spread, Phantom has also created a safer retail experience to reduce the risk of COVID-19 while shopping. All stores and showrooms will meet local and state guidelines based on area pandemic protocols and conduct increased store sanitization. In addition, all staff will wear masks and the company is also asking shoppers to wear masks as well.

If needed, some stores and showrooms may also limit shoppers during high traffic timeframes, like many other retailers are having to do, to maintain social distancing protocols in the stores.

"Like much of 2020, this year's Fourth of July holiday will be very different for Americans," said Weimer. "Phantom Fireworks, along with so many of our nation's companies, is committed to stepping up and helping Americans celebrate their favorite holiday – on a Saturday for the first time in five years – by ensuring that customers can enjoy our products legally and safely."
