NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Klein Law Firm announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:APRN) securities pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s Initial Public Offering on or about June 29, 2017.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that Blue Apron violated the Securities Act of 1934 because the Registration Statement failed to disclose that: (1) rather than continue to significantly increase spending on advertising, Blue Apron had already decided to significantly reduce spending on advertising in Q2 2017, which would hurt sales and profit margins in future quarters; (2) Blue Apron was already experiencing adverse on-time in-full rates, meaning orders were not arriving on time or with all the ingredients needed, which was hurting customer retention; and (3) the Company had run into delays in Q2 2017 with its new factory in Linden, New Jersey.

Shareholders have until October 16, 2017 to petition the court for lead plaintiff status. Your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as lead plaintiff. You may choose to be an absent class member.
