On February 12, a lawsuit was filed in New York claiming The Honest Co. 'falsely' labeled their products.
And on Tuesday, Jessica Alba was seen making her way to the company's offices in Santa Monica, CA, less than two weeks following the news.
Despite the allegations, the business maintains its innocence, citing the accusations as 'without merit.'

The 34-year-old mother-of-two was appropriately dressed in a simple and chic ensemble for her day of work.
Jessica layered a navy sweater over a thinly striped dress, complete with a side slit.
The actress and businesswoman accessorized her look with a necklace bearing her name, a set of earrings, shades and a Maiyet handbag.
She later attended Kate Hudson's book launch in a long black dress, matching boots and grey jacket.

Jessica's Honest Company, which is currently valued at over a billion dollars, is the recipient of a second lawsuit, since coming under attack in September for alleged negative effects of sunscreen produced by the business.
According to Reuters, Brad and Manon Buonasera are suing the company for damages up to $5 million, and possibly more, citing that the products are labeled 'natural' or 'all natural' yet contain 'a spectacular array of synthetic and toxic ingredients.'
They are hoping to seek a class-action suit on behalf of New Yorkers who purchased products from the actress' company.

Off the hook? Jessica herself was reportedly not listed as a defendant in the lawsuit
The couple, who sued Honest following products they purchased at Costco, claimed that they reached out the company last fall in regards to it's alleged false advertising. When no action was supposedly taken, they took legal action upon themselves.
Jessica herself was reportedly not listed as a defendant in the lawsuit.
In a statement to Retuers, the business said: 'The Honest Company takes its responsibility to our consumers seriously and strongly stands behind our products. These allegations are without merit and we will vigorously defend this baseless lawsuit.'
