Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announced that shareholder class actions have been filed involving Aardvark Therapeutics, Simply Good Foods, Alarum Technologies and Alibaba Group Holding. Investors seeking to serve as lead plaintiff must file motions by October 5, 2026, for the Alarum and Alibaba cases, or October 13, 2026, for the Aardvark and Simply Good Foods cases. The complaints allege that the companies and their defendants made materially false or misleading statements, or failed to disclose adverse information, concerning business operations and prospects. The allegations include safety and development risks involving Aardvark's ARD-101, integration and product-quality problems tied to Simply Good Foods' OWYN acquisition, alleged illegal activity by Alarum subsidiary NetNut, and Alibaba's alleged links to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and risks involving distillation attacks against third-party artificial-intelligence models. Investors do not need to take action to remain absent members of the class actions and may retain counsel of their choice. The law firm said investors with losses may contact Howard G. Smith by telephone, email or through its website.
