A class action has been filed against DHB Industries, Inc. (DHB), certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's common stock between April 24, 2004 and August 29, 2005. The action claims that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market over this time period, thereby artificially inflating the price of the company's securities. The stockholders seek to recover compensatory damages for the loss of value of their stock.
According to a press release dated September 9, 2005, a shareholder class action lawsuit has been filed against DHB and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DHB designs, manufactures and markets protective armor, through its subsidiaries, Point Blank Body Armor, Inc. ("Point Blank") and Protective Apparel Corporation of America ("PACA").
Specifically, the complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants issued numerous statements concerning the quality of the Company's bulletproof vests. Recently, DHB announced it would stop manufacturing and selling certain of its vests due to their being decertified by a government agency and took a write-off. Following this announcement, shares of DHB stock declined in value.
