Read the Complaint

The complaint charges DHB, David H. Brooks, Sandra Hatfield, and Dawn M. Schlegel, with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. More specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse facts which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them: (1) that DHB’s body armor products were unsafe and defective; (2) that despite knowledge of this, the Company continued to falsely represent that its body armor products were safe and of high quality; (3) that defendants knew and/or recklessly disregarded that continued sales of its unsafe and defective body armor products could have a material adverse effect on DHB’s finances; and (4) that DHB lacked adequate internal controls and because of this, was unable to determine the true financial impact of withdrawal of any of its products. 

On August 30, 2005, DHB announced that it would take a charge of up to $60 million in the third quarter to discontinue production of certain bullet-proof vests because of safety concerns. Following this announcement, shares of DHB, on August 30, 2005, fell $1.56 per share, or 23.42 percent, to close at $5.10 per share on unusually heavy trading volume.
