Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings The Company is party to various claims, legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these actions involve complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. At this time, the Company is not able to either predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or reasonably estimate a potential range of loss with respect to the proceedings. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such pending claims, proceedings and investigations with certainty, management is of the opinion that their ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position taken as a whole. Lands' End is the defendant in four separate lawsuits, each of which seeks class certification and alleges similar injuries and claims: (1) DeCrescentis et al., v. Lands' End, Inc., United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. l 9-cv- 4717-LJL, complaint filed May 22, 2019; (2) Gilbert et al. v. Lands' End, Inc., United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, Civil Action No. 3:19-cv-00823-JDP, complaint filed October 3, 2019; (3) Andrews et al. v. Lands' End, Inc., United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, Civil Action No. 3:19-cv-01066-JDP, complaint filed on December 31, 2019, on behalf of 521 named plaintiffs, later amended to include 1,089 named plaintiffs; and (4) Davis et al. v. Lands' End, Inc. and Lands' End Business Outfitters, Inc., United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, Case No. 3:20-cv-00195, complaint filed on March 4, 2020. Plaintiffs in DeCrescentis seeks class certification for similarly situated New York-based Delta Airlines flight attendants, gate agents, and ramp agents. Plaintiffs in Gilbert, Andrews, and Davis seek nationwide class certification on behalf of similarly situated Delta employees. Plaintiffs in DeCrescentis and Gilbert allege they have suffered adverse health events and personal property damage as a result of wearing uniforms manufactured by Lands' End. Andrews and Davis plaintiffs assert personal injuries due to adverse health effects but do not allege personal property damage. The DeCrescentis matter is currently in discovery. Plaintiffs in DeCrescentis, Gilbert, and Davis each assert that the damages sustained by the members of the proposed class exceed $5,000,000. Plaintiffs in all four cases seek damages for personal injuries, pain and suffering, severe emotional distress, financial or economic loss, including medical services and expenses, lost income and other compensable injuries. On March 9, 2020, Plaintiffs in Gilbert, Andrews, and Davis filed a motion to consolidate the three case schedules. Lands' End has filed a motion in opposition of consolidation. Further, in Gilbert, Lands' End has filed a motion to strike class allegations. Lands' End is vigorously defending all four lawsuits and believes they are without merit.
