Shares of Retractable Technologies Inc. (RVP) dropped almost 12% to 67 cents after the company said it received an unfavorable court ruling.

The medical-products company said that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday affirmed a district court's finding that determined that neither disgorgement of profits nor further injunctive relief should be granted to Retractable in its case against Becton, Dickinson and Co. (BDX), despite finding that Becton, Dickinson falsely advertised its products for years.

Retractable said it is evaluating this ruling and conferring with legal counsel regarding possible future action.
