BALTIMORE, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 09/20/08 -- Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Hansen Natural Corporation ("Hansen Natural" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HANS) during the period between May 23, 2007 and November 8, 2007, inclusive (the "Class Period"). The complaint charges Hansen Natural and certain of its officers and directors with violations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

According to the complaint, during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements that misrepresented and failed to disclose: that Hansen Natural's second quarter sales results were materially impacted by customers' inventory loading before the Company raised its prices in certain of its products; that the Company was experiencing declining sales in its non-core drink lines; and that the Company suffered production shortfalls with its Java Monster drink line. The complaint further alleges that the forgoing information prevented defendants from having a reasonable basis for positive statements during the Class Period about the Company and its prospects and that when, on November 8, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the period ended September 30, 2007 indicating lower than expected revenue growth and decreasing profit margins, the value of the Company's shares declined significantly.
