On October 8, 2026, Pomerantz LLP announced their investigation into claims connected to Neogen Corporation, which trades on NASDAQ under the symbol NEOG. This move follows concerning news regarding the company's veterinary product, Neogen Vet HYCOAT, which is now under scrutiny after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter. The letter referenced serious health risks, linking the product to multiple fatal infections. Specifically, it was reported that at least 20 horses tragically died, reportedly due to the contamination of the product that was initially labeled as sterile. This incident marks one of the most significant product recalls related to veterinary medical products regulated by the FDA in history.
Investigations have indicated that the FDA's warning stemmed from findings that raised alarm over the quality standards maintained by Neogen. The FDA stated that the contamination problem could lead to dire consequences, noting that these were the most equine fatalities linked to a quality defect in any FDA-regulated veterinary product to date. In January 2026, Neogen undertook a voluntary recall of HYCOAT, but the damage had already begun—on the announcement date of the FDA warning, Neogen's share price plummeted by $0.99, closing at $12.73, which translates into a significant loss of 7.22% for investors.
