- Shareholder Notice: The Gross Law Firm has issued a notice encouraging shareholders who purchased BBWI shares between June 4, 2024, and November 9, 2025, to contact them for potential lead plaintiff appointment, indicating significant legal risks for the company.
- Allegations of Misleading Statements: The lawsuit alleges that Bath & Body Works issued materially false statements during the class period, failing to disclose that its strategy of 'adjacencies, collaborations, and promotions' was not effectively growing its customer base, leading to weak financial performance.
- Failure to Meet Financial Guidance: The complaint asserts that the company's reliance on brand collaborations to mask poor financial results makes it unlikely to meet its previously issued financial guidance, highlighting serious flaws in internal management and strategic execution.
- No Cost to Participate: Shareholders can register for the class action at no cost, and upon registration, they will receive real-time updates on the case's progress, demonstrating the law firm's commitment to protecting investor rights.
