The complaint alleges the company made materially false or misleading statements about operational issues at its Pacific Helmets and Jolly businesses, including shipping delays and production problems. It also alleges Lakeland’s financial results deteriorated due to tariff-related headwinds and delays related to certifications and material flow at acquired businesses. The filing alleges the company’s tariff mitigation measures, M&A strategy, and financial guidance were overstated or unreliable. Investors have until April 24, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.
