A new class action lawsuit alleges that BarkBox sent misleading marketing emails to Washington state residents, falsely advertising "internal" or "employee discount" sales as exclusive offers. Plaintiff Brylee Davidson claims these emails, which were sent to the general public, violate Washington's Commercial Electronic Mail Act and Consumer Protection Act by creating a false sense of exclusivity to drive sales. The lawsuit seeks class action certification, damages, and a jury trial.
