NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Mead Johnson Nutrition Company ("Mead" or the "Company") who purchased Mead common stock between April 26, 2012 and July 1, 2013 (the "Relevant Period"). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether Mead and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Mead manufactures nutritional products for infants, children, and expectant and nursing mothers. The Company markets its products in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia.
On July 2, 2013, various media outlets reported that China's National Development and Reform Commission ("NDRC"), China's top economic planning agency, was investigating foreign infant formula companies including Mead over alleged price fixing violations. On this news, Mead securities declined $10.58 per share or over 13%, within two trading sessions, to close at $68.85 per share on July 3, 2013.
