“At Honest, we prioritize transparency, trust and sustainability in all that we do,” declares the company’s, which was filed in April with the Securities and Exchange Commission. What’s little mentioned: Honest’s road to public markets has been rocky—with class action lawsuits over false advertising and allegedly harmful products, executive turnover and a down funding round.
