LAKE MARY, Fla., Dec. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FARO) today announced that it and certain of its officers have been named as defendants in a purported securities class action lawsuit filed in United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

The complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws, the central allegation of which is that certain of the Company's public disclosures between May 6, 2004 and November 3, 2005 were materially false or misleading.
