Waggz Transformed Grooming Equipment Standards with Medical-Grade Tech

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Waggz, Inc. has swiftly become a transformative force in the pet grooming industry. To date, the equipment manufacturer has launched 18 medical-grade grooming products, which elevate safety standards to unprecedented levels, never before seen in the grooming industry.

See Waggz’s entire catalog of medical-grade grooming equipment.

Waggz Transformed Grooming Equipment Standards with Medical-Grade Tech

Waggz has redesigned virtually every feature on grooming tables and tubs; no component was left untouched. Even the design and testing phases were different: Waggz is known for its collaborative process and adopting feedback from real, working groomers.

First-Ever Features and Medical-Grade Materials

Waggz is the first and only grooming equipment brand to follow medical-grade standards. Since their launch, the company has consistently challenged the status quo, bringing the same high-end materials and patented mechanisms trusted by hospitals into the pet grooming workspace.

Even better, these new standards don’t just apply to a handful of luxury products; Waggz uses elevated materials across the entire catalog.

Roll-Bright LED Grooming Table: Everything, all in one: medical-grade wheels, two sets of IPX6 waterproof foot pedals, tintable and dimmable LED lights, soft-close drawers, and integrated power outlets. It’s getting a lot of buzz on social media, and grooming influencers have dubbed it the ‘Rolls-Royce of grooming tables’!Store-Low Grooming Table: Like all Waggz electric grooming tables and tubs, this 50-inch table also has a Linak medical-grade actuator, patented push rod lift, and built-in stabilizers. Groomer-focused features include soft-close metal drawers and IPX6 waterproof foot pedals on both sides of the table.Roll-Light Grooming Table: Re-organize your workspace and lock all four medical-grade wheels simultaneously with a built-in foot brake – exactly like the ones used on hospital beds. This compact 44-inch drying table also has a built-in portable battery that can lift and lower the table up to 25 times on a single charge.Step-Low Grooming Table: The full-size 50-inch table is Waggz’s most minimalistic style, and it compresses down to 11.5 inches off the floor. Fully redesigned grooming arms have a telescoping shape that lifts up from the top of the table, rather than extending underneath, and the clamp is robotically welded into position for enhanced stability.Charge-Bright LED Grooming Table: This is Waggz’s streamlined LED table with upgraded lights that are housed under an ultra-thick frosted glass top and silicone top mat. Waggz LEDs are guaranteed for 20,000 hours with a special warranty, and simple control buttons make it easy to change tints and brightness while you work.Power Electric Grooming Tubs: Waggz also launched two brand-new electric grooming tubs: Power-Lift with a lift-out door, and Power-Slide with a sliding entrance. Essentially, groomers can customize and build their perfect Power tub with two door styles, two powder-coated base colors, and the option to upgrade to a 60-inch XL size.Roll-Lift Stationary Tub: Waggz completely redesigned the stationary grooming tub, too. No other grooming tub on the market offers medical-grade wheels with a locking foot brake on the pull-out stairs. This exclusive Waggz upgrade makes it even safer for dogs to walk up the stairs and enter the tub while everything is locked in place.

Manufacturing: Patented Technology for Pet Groomers

Waggz has a specialized factory that is trusted by Fortune 500 companies, leading retail chains, and hospital equipment brands. The 100,000-square-meter facility is staffed by more than 1,000 employees and has developed more than 200 patents.

This level of advanced technology, robotic welding, and automated testing gives Waggz an advantage over competitors who are struggling with supply chain and QC issues. By designing, manufacturing, testing, and shipping in house, Waggz can exceed industry standards at every step – from conception to customer service.

The patented, high-powered push rod is Waggz’s most notable safety feature, and no other brand has it. Unlike traditional lift mechanisms that used tracks and open wheels, this innovative push rod glides across an internal track of ball bearings.

Because it’s fully sealed, the patented mechanism prevents the build-up of hair, dirt, and dander, circumventing common safety issues that have plagued traditional grooming table lifts. Together with a robotically welded, reinforced X-frame, Waggz tables and tubs are guaranteed to hold strong with an impressive 265-pound weight capacity.

Marketplace: Pet Grooming Supplies from Brand Partners

Waggz caters to a diverse range of professionals and enthusiasts, offering a hand-picked selection of grooming products and equipment from reputable brands. Groomers can order best-selling grooming tools and supplies in one convenient checkout form, including Bio-Groom, K9, Alpha Grooming Tools, Geib, Andis, XPOWER, and more.

From grooming shears to clippers, bathing tubs, and pet dryers, Waggz’s end-to-end grooming tools shop is a reliable source of quality and innovation.

Mackensie Murphy, GroomTeam USA Member, Joins Waggz

On January 1, 2024, Waggz proudly announced that Mackensie Murphy is Waggz’s exclusive, elite grooming ambassador. As a GroomTeam USA member and second-generation groomer, Murphy is passionate about raising standards in the grooming community. Mackensie’s collaboration with Waggz signifies a shared commitment to excellence and a desire to connect with and teach a wider audience.

Waggz has transformed the grooming equipment landscape, offering unparalleled safety, innovation, and convenience for groomers of all levels. As the industry continues to evolve, Waggz stands at the forefront, redefining expectations and setting a new standard for excellence.

A company spokesperson said, “Waggz products are backed by a 3-year tiered warranty that no one else can match, and groomers feel the quality difference immediately. We’re here to transform the grooming industry, and this is only the beginning. Even more groundbreaking grooming products are in development that we’ll be announcing later this year.”

Waggz Announces Star-Studded Presence at Groom Expo West 2024

Waggz promises a strong start to the 2024 grooming competition season with free contest critiques, exclusive tradeshow promotions, personal demos, and expert advice from grooming celebrities in booth #616 at Groom Expo West in Pasadena, California.

What’s Next for Webull Corporation Shareholders After 19.09% Stock Drop? Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP Explains Securities Fraud Class Action Lead Plaintiff Deadline

Published

on

By

Complaint alleges Webull Corporation misled investors between April 26, 2025 and October 6, 2026; investors may seek lead plaintiff role by December 7, 2026

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP (“Glancy”) announced today that the class action lawsuit covers investors who bought Webull Corporation (“Webull” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BULL) securities between April 26, 2025 and October 6, 2026. The Webull Corporation case, Ward v. Webull Corporation et al., was filed on October 8, 2026 in the U.S. District Court Middle District of Florida (Tampa) (Case No. 8:26-cv-03052).

Investors who suffered losses on Webull Corporation investments can submit their Webull Corporation loss information here before the December 7, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

Key dates in the Webull Corporation case

Class period: April 26, 2025 to October 6, 2026Complaint filed: October 8, 2026Lead plaintiff deadline: December 7, 2026

What happened?

On October 7, 2026, the bipartisan House Select Committee on China issued a report which found “a profound gap” between Webull’s public marketing as “an American company” and actual control of the alleged St. Petersburg, Florida-based firm. The committee reportedly found “Webull’s ownership architecture, technical workforce, technology infrastructure, cross-border data routing, corporate financing, and compliance frameworks are tied in structural ways to the People’s Republic of China.” The Select Committee also reportedly found that Webull initially told the Select Committee that it had no offices or employees in China, while Webull’s mainland China subsidiary in fact employed approximately 863 employees, or 62% of Webull’s global workforce.

Webull Corporation stock fell $1.39 or 19.09%, to close at $5.89 on October 7, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

What is the Webull Corporation lawsuit about?

The Webull Corporation securities lawsuit alleges that, between April 26, 2025 and October 6, 2026, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about Webull Corporation’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Webull’s mainland China operations were not limited to research and development and technical support functions, but rather Webull’s software development, data pipelines, and core engineering depended on PRC-based personnel and on infrastructure subject to Chinese law; (2) Webull’s ownership structure, technical workforce, technology infrastructure, cross-border data routing, financing, and compliance structure were structurally tied to China; (3) as a result, Webull’s representations that its principal business operations were based in the U.S. and that its U.S. customer data was insulated from non-U.S. access materially overstated Webull’s independence from the PRC; and (4) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about Webull Corporation’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

“The complaint filed against Webull Corporation alleges that, among other things, the Company failed to disclose that Webull’s mainland China operations were not limited to research and development and technical support functions, but rather Webull’s software development, data pipelines, and core engineering depended on PRC-based personnel and on infrastructure subject to Chinese law. For investors who bought during the class period, the December 7, 2026 deadline is the first major step in this case,” said Charles H. Linehan, Partner at Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP.

What’s the next step?

Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP is a leading national shareholder rights law firm, ready to assist Webull Corporation investors in potentially pursuing claims to recover their losses.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff in the Webull Corporation class action, you must move the Court no later than December 7, 2026. To learn more about your rights, visit the Webull Corporation case page, email shareholders@glancylaw.com, or call 310-201-9150 (toll-free: 888-773-9224).

You may retain counsel of your choice. If you bought Webull Corporation securities during the class period, you may take no action and remain an absent class member. No class has been certified yet in the Webull Corporation case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible? Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Webull Corporation securities between April 26, 2025 and October 6, 2026 and suffered losses may be members of the proposed class in the Webull Corporation shareholder lawsuit. Any class member may ask the court to appoint them lead plaintiff by December 7, 2026.

What is a lead plaintiff? In the Webull Corporation class action, the lead plaintiff is the investor, or group of investors, that the court appoints to represent all class members and oversee the case. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, courts generally presume the movant with the largest financial interest is the most adequate lead plaintiff.

Do I have to be lead plaintiff to recover? No. A Webull Corporation investor’s ability to share in any future recovery does not depend on serving as lead plaintiff. Webull Corporation investors may take no action and remain absent class members.

What is the deadline? Motions to serve as lead plaintiff in the Webull Corporation class action must be filed by December 7, 2026.

Does it cost anything to contact Glancy or participate in this action? Glancy represents Webull Corporation investors on a contingency fee basis, which means investors pay no attorneys’ fees unless there is a recovery. Any fees are subject to court approval and are paid from the recovery.

Takes Controlling Stake in AI Harness Business to Advance a Third Growth Engine

HONG KONG, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NetDragon Websoft Holdings Limited (“NetDragon” or the “Company”; Hong Kong Stock Code: 0777), a global leader in building internet communities, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a legally binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Jiuzhou Culture (“Jiuzhou”), a leading AIGC short drama production and distribution company in China, to establish a joint venture (“JV”) in which NetDragon will hold a 51% controlling interest. The partnership will focus on artificial intelligence technologies, AIGC-powered content creation and digital technology services, further expanding NetDragon’s AI application scenarios and commercialisation opportunities while accelerating the development of a new growth engine.

Deepening the Integration of AIGC and Content to Build a Diversified Digital Business Platform

Rapid advances in AIGC are continuing to reshape content creation, digital entertainment and software services. With the ongoing maturation of generative AI, large-scale AI models and AI agents, AI is evolving from a supporting tool into a productivity platform that can enhance the entire value chain, from content creation and production to operations and commercialisation. Through the JV Company, NetDragon and Jiuzhou will combine their complementary strengths in technology, IP, content and industry resources to accelerate the deployment of AIGC across real-world commercial applications.

Under the MOU, Jiuzhou will inject into the JV Company all intellectual property, technologies and assets relating to the AI Harness system business, laying a solid foundation for product development and commercialisation. NetDragon will contribute Hong Kong dollars cash equivalent to RMB 50 million to the JV Company, acquire a 51% shareholding interest and consolidate the JV Company’s financial results. The JV Company will focus on expanding foundational artificial intelligence software, large-scale AI models and the AI Harness system business. It is expected to serve as the first commercial validation platform in China for NetDragon’s “AI ecosystem co-creation” strategy, marking the launch of the Company’s third growth engine and laying the groundwork for the business model to be replicated and scaled across various sectors.

To accelerate the scalable commercialisation of the AI Harness business, the transaction also incorporates a multi-tiered, progressive performance-based incentive warrant scheme. NetDragon will issue 25 million unlisted warrants to Jiuzhou at an issue price of HK$0.10 per warrant share, to be granted in three tranches with initial exercise prices of HK$10, HK$12 and HK$15, respectively. The warrants will only become exercisable upon achievement of specified key performance indicators by the JV Company. Assuming full exercise of all warrants at the initial exercise prices, NetDragon will receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately HK$314 million, which will supplement the Company’s development capital while achieving deep alignment of interests and shared equity upside with its strategic partner. 

Strengthening AI Ecosystem Synergies to Drive a Third Growth Engine

As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into content production, digital services and global operations, NetDragon and Jiuzhou will take this collaboration as a new starting point to fully leverage their complementary strengths and accelerate the commercialisation of AI capabilities, translating technological innovation into tangible business value. In recent years, NetDragon has continued to advance its AI strategy across AI+gaming, AI+education and enterprise intelligence, while actively exploring emerging AI businesses with the potential to establish independent commercial models. Jiuzhou, meanwhile, has built deep expertise in micro-dramas and digital content, with an integrated value chain spanning copyright operations, content creation, co-production, paid distribution and official distribution. It has also continued to expand the use of AIGC across content production, creation and operations. The two parties will further explore the deep integration of AI technology with the content industry, accelerating the implementation of AI capabilities in scenarios such as content generation, AI model applications, translation and localisation, platform operations, and enterprise technology services, to build scalable and sustainable business models.

Following the launch of the MOYU AI platform in August 2026, NetDragon’s investment and controlling stake in the AI Harness business marks another important step in increasing resource allocation to its AI business and broadening its long-term growth pathways. The performance-linked equity incentive collaboration with Jiuzhou is expected to establish a new model of strategic collaboration for NetDragon, enabling the Company and its partners to grow the business together and share in the value created. Looking ahead, NetDragon will remain focused on its core AI business, deepen technological innovation and resource integration, and leverage its established strengths in gaming and education alongside the emerging growth engine of AI ecosystem co-creation. Under this three-pronged strategy, the Company aims to continuously strengthen its core competitiveness, enhance long-term investment value, and deliver sustainable returns to shareholders.
