Case Status:    DISMISSED  
—On or around 06/10/2013 (Date of order of final judgment)
Current/Last Presiding Judge:  
Hon. Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers

Filing Date: November 28, 2011

Cooper Companies, Inc. is a global medical device company.

According to a press release dated November 28, 2011, the Company issued false and misleading statements concealing known quality control problems and process defects at the Company's new overseas contact lens manufacturing facilities.

The Complaint alleges that following the announcement of a small voluntary recall, the significance of which the Company and its senior executives intentionally downplayed, on November 15, 2011, Cooper was forced to disclose a much larger product recall and to finally disclose the seriousness of the potential injuries. As the market learned the true extent of the Company's production issues, product safety defects and the harm to its reputation and product marketability, the Company's stock price declined precipitously.

On February 29, 2012, the Court issued an order appointing lead Plaintiff and approving lead Counsel.

On May 4, 2012, the Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended Complaint.

On January 7, 2013, the Court issued an order granting the Defendants' motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs were given leave to file a second consolidated amended Complaint. Plaintiffs filed the Complaint on February 4.

On May 31, 2013, the Court issued an order granting the Defendants' motion to dismiss with prejudice.
