Kanefsky v. Honeywell International Inc. et al., Case No. 2:18-cv-15536-WJM-JAD (D. N.J.). On May 18, 2020, Hon. William J. Martini, United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey, entered an Order denying Defendants’ motion to dismiss against Honeywell, and individual defendants Darius Adamczyk, and Thomas A. Szlosek. A third individual defendant was dismissed from the action.  This matter, in which Kahn Swick & Foti is Lead Counsel, alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information regarding Honeywell’s liabilities relating to former subsidiary Bendix Friction Materials’ use of asbestos in certain automotive products. The matter further alleges that when the truth was finally brought to light on October 19, 2018 (after Honeywell released its quarterly report for the third quarter of 2018), the stock fell from an opening price of $151.25 per share to $140.83 per share as of market close on October 24, 2018. Judge Martini agreed, finding Lead Plaintiff’s “alleged facts raise a strong inference of scienter.”
