(“Care.com” or the (Company”) (NYSE: CRCM) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of those who purchased or acquired the securities of Care.com between March 27, 2015 and April 1, 2019, inclusive (“Class Period”).

The Complaint alleges that Defendants misleadingly touted the Company’s “proactive” screening procedures. On March 8, 2019, a Wall Street Journal article revealed the Company’s ineffective screening procedures, reporting that care providers listed on the website “had police records . . . and later were accused of committing crimes while caring for customers’ children or elderly relatives.”
The Company’s stock dropped 13% after these revelations.
On March 31, 2019, a follow-up Wall Street Journal article stated that “hundreds of day-care centers” listed as “state licensed” on the Company’s website did not appear to be, and that tens of thousands of unverified day-care center listings were scrubbed from their website just before the March 8, 2019 Wall Street Journal article was published.
Care.com stock dropped another 7% after these disclosures.
