Kendall Law Group Plans Class Action on Behalf of Heckmann Corporation Shareholders

Kendall Law Group, a national securities firm, announced today that it plans to join a lawsuit on behalf of shareholders of Heckmann Corporation (NYSE: HEK), alleging securities violations by the Company and certain of its officers for violations of federal securities laws. Purchasers of common stock during the period between May 20, 2008 and May 8, 2009 and holders of Heckmann common stock on September 15, 2008 that were eligible to vote on Heckmann’s acquisition of China Water and Drinks, Inc. at the October 30, 2008 special meeting are urged to contact attorney Scott Kendall at 877-744-3728 or skendall@kendalllawgroup.com to learn more about your rights.

Heckmann and certain of its officers are charged with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 2, 2008, Heckmann represented that it had done its due diligence in regards to the China Water acquisition and recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the merger of Heckmann and China Water. On May 8, 2009, Heckmann filed a Form 10-Q with the SEC revealing a net loss of $186.2 million for the first quarter of 2009 due to the “less robust” business than anticipated, an impairment charge estimated to be $184 million, and the possible diversion of corporate assets by former China Water management and insiders. Heckmann stock prices fell from $7.90 per share the week of October 6, 2008, to a low of $3.38 the week of July 6, 2009.

Any shareholder who purchased or held Heckmann stock during the relevant time period may move the Court to serve as a plaintiff in this class action. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court for appointment no later than July 5, 2010. A lead plaintiff is a class member who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff.
