LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP ("GPM") announces that investors with substantial losses have opportunity to lead the securities fraud class action lawsuit against The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company ("Scotts" or the "Company") (NYSE: SMG).
Class Period: June 2, 2021 – August 1, 2023
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: August 5, 2024
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Scotts lawsuit, you can submit your contact information at www.glancylaw.com/cases/The-Scotts-Miracle-Gro-Company/. You can also contact Charles H.

The complaint filed alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Scotts had an oversupply of inventory that far exceeded consumer demand; (2) Scotts executives engaged in a scheme to saturate the Company's sales channel with more product than those retailers could sell through to end users, a practice that required Scotts sales personnel to pressure retailers to purchase more inventory than they wanted or needed; (3) Scotts was only able to satisfy the covenants through the channel stuffing scheme; and (4) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
