A law firm said investors who lost money in Simply Good Foods Co. may seek to lead a securities fraud class action, and the notice names a lead-plaintiff deadline of Oct. 13, 2026.

According to the notice, the complaint centers on allegations involving the company’s OWYN acquisition, including integration problems, margin pressure and product quality issues. The notice says class members do not need to take action now, but investors with substantial losses may contact the firm before the deadline.

In an attorney-advertising notice from the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, the complaint alleges materially false and misleading statements and omissions during a period from Oct. 24, 2024, through Apr. 8, 2026. The release says the alleged omissions involved the loss of key managerial personnel after the OWYN acquisition, higher general and administrative spending, and product quality issues tied to a new pea protein supplier.

The notice also says promotional spending for OWYN was above historical practices and eroded margins, while cuts to brand support and marketing were made to try to stop that erosion. It further alleges that the OWYN acquisition failed to achieve key strategic goals and suffered severe integration and execution problems.

Simply Good Foods trades under the ticker SMPL. The notice was dated Aug. 24, 2026, and was datelined Bensalem, Pa., according to the press release distributed through PR Newswire.

The release did not include a company response. It also said investors with substantial losses may contact the law firm if they wish to pursue the case.

The notice lists Oct. 13, 2026, as the lead-plaintiff deadline. It says class members may retain counsel or remain absent members.
