Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of the law by certain officers and directors at NBTY, Inc. ("NBTY" or the "Company") (NYSE:NTY). NBTY manufactures, markets, and retails nutritional supplements in the United States and worldwide. The Company was founded in 1971 and is based in Ronkonkoma, New York.

Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation concerns whether the Company's directors and officers caused the Company to make materially false and misleading representations regarding NBTY's business and prospects.

Beginning in November 2009, defendants issued a series of statements concerning the Company's future revenues and the likelihood that it would meet its earnings guidance. These statements allegedly concealed certain material facts from investors in order to inflate the Company's stock price. Upon revelation of these previously undisclosed facts, NBTY's market capitalization declined by over $610 million, or 20.6 percent, in a single day.

If you purchased your shares of NBTY stock prior to November 9, 2009, continue to hold your shares, and would like more information about your rights as a shareholder, please contact attorney Gregory E. Del Gaizo at 800-350-6003 or by e-mail at inquiry@robbinsumeda.com.
