DHB Dhb Industries, Inc.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, on behalf of all persons who purchased the securities of DHB Industries, Inc. ("DHB" or the "Company") (AMEX:DHB) between November 18, 2003 and August 29, 2005, inclusive, (the "Class Period") against defendants DHB and certain officers of the Company. The case name is Bushnell v. DHB Industries, Inc., et al. A copy of the complaint filed in this action is available from the Court, or can be viewed on the Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP website at http://www.whafh.com/. The complaint alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements throughout the Class Period that had the effect of artificially inflating the market price of the Company's securities. The complaint further alleges that during the Class Period, defendants made statements that were materially false and misleading because they failed to disclose the following facts, among others: (a) the Company's body armor products containing Zylon were potentially dangerous because they could fail to stop bullets due to Zylon-fiber degradation; (b) because of the foregoing, the Company was subject to potentially ruinous liability from regulatory, criminal or civil actions; (c) the Company's business was dependent, in material part, on the sale of products whose safety was in serious doubt, which once such potential problems became widely known, would cause a dramatic, if not total, decline in demand; (d) the Company was at risk that the National Institute of Justice would revoke its certification of DHB's Zylon containing armor, which was required by many of DHB's customers, and that the revocation would have a materially negative impact on its business; and (e) defendants Brooks and Schlegel's express assurances that the Form 10-K was free from materially false and misleading statements were untrue because of the above-noted misrepresentations. Such assurances were themselves deceptive and provided false comfort to investors. If you purchased DHB securities during the Class Period, you may request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff by November 8, 2005. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as "lead plaintiff." Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Wolf Haldenstein, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action. Wolf Haldenstein has extensive experience in the prosecution of securities class actions and derivative litigation in state and federal trial and appellate courts across the country. The firm has approximately 60 attorneys in various practice areas; and offices in Chicago, New York City, San Diego, and West Palm Beach.
