• The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) James Hardie's key North America Fiber Cement segment was experiencing weakening demand due to distributor inventory destocking known to the Company by April and early May 2025; and (2) despite this knowledge, the Company falsely represented that demand remained strong and that inventory levels were "normal"; and (3) on August 19, 2025, James Hardie revealed a 12% sales decline in the segment, attributing it to "normalization of channel inventories," and warned of continued weakness; and (4) following this news, the Company's share price dropped more than 34% thereby damaging investors.

• Class Period: February 23, 2022 to October 29, 2025
  
• Lead Plaintiff Deadline: December 15, 2025
  
• The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misled investors by failing to disclose that: (1) the Novum LVP suffered systemic defects that caused widespread malfunctions, including underinfusion, overinfusion, and complete non-delivery of fluids, which exposed patients to risks of serious injury or death; (2) Baxter was notified of multiple device malfunctions, injuries, and deaths from these defects; (3) Baxter's attempts to address these defects through customer alerts were inadequate remedial measures, when design flaws persisted and continued to cause serious harm to patients; (4) as a result, there was a heightened risk that customers would be instructed to take existing Novum LVPs out of service and that Baxter would completely pause all new sales of these pumps; and (5) based on the foregoing, Baxter's statements about the safety, efficacy, product rollout, customer feedback and sales prospects of the Novum LVPs were materially false and misleading.
