Novo Nordisk Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of insulin and diabetes care products based in Plainsboro Township, N.J., allegedly violated federal law by denying a lateral transfer to a 62-year-old employee because of her age, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Monday.

The case was filed in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey.
