HAGENS BERMAN, NATIONAL TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Encourages Inotiv, Inc. (NOTV) Investors with Significant Losses to Contact the Firm’s Attorneys, Securities Fraud Class Action Filed

SAN FRANCISCO, July 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hagens Berman urges Inotiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOTV) investors who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now. A securities fraud class action has been filed and investors with significant losses have an opportunity to lead the case.

Inotiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOTV) Securities Fraud Class Action:

The litigation challenges Inotiv’s claims regarding its Envigo business, which the company acquired in Sept. 2021, including that Envigo maintained “high standards of animal welfare” at its Cumberland, Virginia facility and other animal testing sites.

Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and concealed that: (1) the Cumberland facility engaged in widespread and flagrant violations of the Animal Welfare Act (“AWA”); (2) Envigo and the Cumberland facility continuously violated the AWA; (3) Envigo and Inotiv did not properly remedy issues with regard to animal welfare at Cumberland; (4) as a result, Inotiv was likely to face increased scrutiny and government action; (5) Inotiv would imminently shut down Cumberland; and, (6) Inotiv did not perform proper due diligence of Envigo.

On May 20, 2022, Inotiv announced that on May 18 federal and state law enforcement conducted a search and seizure warrant on the Cumberland facility. The company also announced the DOJ sued Envigo for violations of the ACA.

Then, on May 21, 2022, the court in the DOJ’s case ordered a halt to violations of the AWA at Cumberland. The court’s order observed that hundreds of beagle puppies died in the Cumberland facility (many of which were not given anesthesia before they were euthanized by intracardiac injection), nursing female beagles were denied food, and many puppies died from cold exposure. About 3 weeks later, Inotiv announced it was closing Cumberland.

These events sent the price of Inotiv shares crashing lower.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and proving Inotiv misled investors about its adherence to animal welfare standards,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
