Nasdaq Halts Trading Premier Laser Stocks

The Nasdaq stock market has halted the trading of Premier Laser Systems Inc. shares until the Irvine-based firm, which filed a bankruptcy petition last week, provides “additional information.” Premier shares last traded Friday at $1. Officials at the dental and vision laser maker could not be reached for comment Monday.

Once the darling of Wall Street, Premier filed for bankruptcy reorganization Friday amid mounting losses, lawsuits and layoffs.
