The plaintiff claims that between November 5, 2015 and August 15, 2016 the defendants made allegedly false and/or misleading statements and/or allegedly failed to disclose that Hain Celestial Group Inc lacked adequate controls over financial reporting, that consequently, Hain Celestial Group Inc failed to correctly account for revenue associated with concessions granted to certain distributors in the United States, and that as a result of the foregoing, Hain Celestial Group Inc's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On August 15, 2016, Hain Celestial Group Inc announced that it would delay the release of its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2016 financial results because the Company was evaluating whether the revenue associated with concessions granted to certain distributors in the U.S. was accounted for in the correct period.
