G6 and G7 Class Action Litigation
Between September 29, 2025, and January 8, 2026, various plaintiffs, purported users of G6 or G7 devices, filed six overlapping putative class action complaints against us. Four of the complaints originally were filed and are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (Levens, et al. v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:25-cv-02565-BJC-BLM; Estravit v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:25-cv-02845-BJC-BLM; and Dalora v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:25-cv-03210-BJC-BLM; Dickinson, et al. v. Dexcom, Inc. Dickinson, et al. v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:26-cv-00102-BJC-BLM); one of the complaints originally was filed in United States District Court for the Central District of California, and subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (Grisoli, et al. v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 3:25-cv-03488-BJC-BLM); and one of the complaints was filed and is pending in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California (Chatelain v. Dexcom, Inc., No. 25STCV30722). Plaintiffs in all six actions allege they overpaid for G6 and/or G7 devices or components that were worth less than the purchase price because, among other reasons, G6 and/or G7 devices or components they purchased allegedly were adulterated or misbranded under federal law; G6 and/or G7 devices or components they purchased allegedly failed to perform as advertised; and because we allegedly misled patients and providers about the safety, accuracy, efficacy, and reliability of G6 and/or G7 devices or components. Plaintiffs in each action assert various state law consumer protection, express and implied warranty, common law, and Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act claims, and seek, among other things, damages for economic losses, restitution, disgorgement, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Plaintiffs seek to represent nationwide classes and state-specific subclasses of individuals.
The five cases in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California have been deemed related cases and have been assigned to a single judge. On December 30, 2025, and January 5, 2026, plaintiffs filed motions to consolidate the four federal court cases, to appoint interim class counsel, and to establish a briefing schedule on competing motions to appoint interim class counsel. The Court has stayed all deadlines to respond to the complaints in four of the federal court actions (Levens, Estravit, Dalora, and Grisoli) pending the filing of a consolidated complaint. Our deadline to respond to the complaint in Dickinson currently is March 23, 2026.
In the putative class action pending in Los Angeles County Superior Court, our initial status conference is scheduled for February 23, 2026. The case is stayed until at least the February 23, 2026, status conference.
We intend to vigorously defend against such claims; however, we cannot be certain of the outcome of our ongoing proceedings and, if determined adversely to us, our business and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We do not believe we are party to any other currently pending legal proceedings, the outcome of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. There can be no assurance that existing or future legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
