- Do you, or did you, own shares of The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAIN)?

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. reminds shareholders of The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (“Hain” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:HAIN) of an upcoming deadline involving a securities fraud class action lawsuit commenced against the Company. A complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the common stock of Hain between November 5, 2015 and August 15, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”), alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the “Complaint”).
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company’s business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants concealed from the investing public that: (1) the Company lacked adequate controls over financial reporting; (2) consequently, the Company failed to correctly account for revenue associated with concessions granted to certain distributors in the United States; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Hain’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. As a result of defendants’ alleged false and misleading statements, the Company’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 17, 2016. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Any member of the proposed class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
If you purchased shares of Hain during the Class Period, or purchased shares prior to the Class Period and still hold Hain, and wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact Timothy J. MacFall, Esquire or Peter Allocco of Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington, DE 19803 at (888) 969-4242; by e-mail to info@rl-legal.com; or at: http://rigrodskylong.com/investigations/the-hain-celestial-group-inc-hain-lawsuit.
