Herbalife Ltd. HLF shares ticked up slightly after hours Monday following a scare in the afternoon that investor Carl Icahn would dump his 17 percent stake in the controversial company.
But Fox News' Charles Gasparino touched off a minor recovery in Herbalife after the market closed with a tweet claiming that Icahn had not sold shares and hadn't acquired any puts.

Speculation that Icahn would sell his Herbalife stake had sent the company's shares below $39 for the first time since May 2013.
After dropping more than 10 percent Monday afternoon, Herbalife traded recently in the after-hours session at $41.04 a share, up 2 percent.
