NEW YORK, June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP ("Scott+Scott"), an international shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, reminds investors of class action lawsuit against Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. ("Bed Bath & Beyond" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BBBY) related to alleged violations of federal securities laws.

Bed Bath & Beyond is a chain of domestic merchandise retail stores.
The lawsuit alleges that the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company lacked sufficient inventory to support holiday sales; (2) the Company's internal inventory controls were ineffective; and (3) as a result, the Company was likely to experience reduced sales.
On January 8, 2020, Bed Bath & Beyond withdrew its guidance for fiscal year 2019, purportedly due to pressures on sales and profitability, as well as a new strategic plan for the Company's operations.
On this news, the Company's share price fell $3.20, over 19%, to close at $13.45 on January 9, 2020.
Then, on February 11, 2020, Bed Bath & Beyond issued a press release disclosing "a 5.4% decline in comparable sales driven primarily by store traffic declines combined with inventory management issues," including that "inventory within certain key categories in the Bed Bath & Beyond assortment was too low or out-of-stock during the period."
On this news, the Company's share price fell $3.06 per share, over 20%, to close at $11.79 on February 12, 2020.
