NTY Nbty Inc.

The law firm of Izard Nobel LLP, which has significant experience representing investors in prosecuting claims of securities fraud, announces that a lawsuit seeking class action status has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of NBTY, Inc. ("NBTY" or the "Company") (NYSE: NTY) between November 9, 2009 and April 26, 2010, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The Complaint charges that NBTY and certain of its officers and executives violated federal securities laws. Specifically, it is alleged that defendants failed to disclose the following material adverse facts about the Company: (i) that NBTY was experiencing a significant disruption in its private label business and a related decrease in demand for its private label products; (ii) that the Company's advertising costs were escalating far in excess of the internal forecasts; and (iii) as a result, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about NBTY.

On April 27, 2010, NBTY announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2010. The Company announced that its private label sales accounted for only 38% of wholesale sales in the second quarter of 2010, compared to 42% of wholesale sales in the second quarter of 2009. Moreover, NBTY reported that net income was adversely affected by its increased television advertising. On this news, the Company's stock fell $9.66 per share to close at $37.24 per share.

If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than July 12, 2010, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead plaintiff is a class member that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Although your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions which could affect the overall recovery for class members.
