Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, representing investors of Swisher Hygiene Inc., has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Swisher securities between May 16, 2011 and March 28, 2012, inclusive.

Swisher provides hygiene and sanitation solutions in North America and internationally. The Complaint charges Swisher and certain of the Company’s executive officers with violations of federal securities laws. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about Swisher’s business, operations and prospects, including: (1) that the Company was improperly accounting for business acquisitions; (2) that the Company was improperly calculating its allowance for doubtful accounts receivable; (3) that, as a result, the Company's income was overstated; (4) that, as such, the Company's financial results were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; (5) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
