The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges that the company misled shareholders about its integration of OWYN. While management publicly claimed the transition was proceeding as planned, the lawsuit asserts that the firm suffered from a mass exodus of key personnel and a shift to an inferior supplier that compromised product quality. These operational failures reportedly forced the company into heavy discounting and bloated its organizational structure.

The decline in investor confidence culminated on April 9, 2026, when the company released second-quarter earnings showing a 17% year-over-year contraction in OWYN sales. Following the admission that strategic choices had weakened performance, the company’s stock price plummeted more than 27% over two trading days. The law firm Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP is now advising affected investors of their legal options as the October 13, 2026, deadline to seek lead plaintiff status approaches.
