Subscription Billing & Cancellation Barriers (ROSCA Violations): The\nlawsuit accuses Hims of violating the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act\n(ROSCA) by enrolling consumers in recurring subscription models without\ninformed consent. According to regulators, consumers were billed for\nprescriptions almost immediately upon completing an intake form—long before\nreceiving any consultation with a medical provider—while facing dark\npatterns and hidden cancellation options designed to prevent subscription\ntermination.\nThe market swiftly reacted, sending the price of Hims shares down $4.32\n(-14.7%) and erasing over $970 million from the company's market\ncapitalization in a single day.\n\n\"We're focused on whether Hims may have intentionally misled investors about\nits business practices, including the adequacy of its internal controls, and\nfinancial ramifications of the alleged misconduct,\" said Reed Kathrein\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4799771-1&h=1156959384&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hbsslaw.com%2Fattorneys%2Freed-kathrein&a=Reed+Kathrein)\n, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation.\n\nIf you invested in HIMS and have substantial losses, or have knowledge that\nwill assist the firm's investigation, submit your losses now\n(https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4799771-1&h=3711700391&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hbsslaw.com%2Fcases%2Fhims-hers-health-inc-hims-securities-class-action&a=submit+your+losses+now)\n »\n\nWhistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding HIMS should\nconsider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the\nSEC Whistleblower program.
