Crumbl Cookies, which started in Logan, is facing nearly $58,000 in fines, after federal investigators say they found several of its franchises were violating child labor laws.
The heated battle full of sugar and spice has included Crumbl’s CEO, Jason McGowan,from Crumbl’s database through an ex-employee. Dirty Dough has denied the allegations and started an ad campaign with billboards declaring: “Cookies so good we’re being sued!”
The U.S. Department of Labor reported finding violations at 11 Crumbl franchises across six states. Among those, 46 teen workers were affected. The other violations were reported at three franchises in California, one in Minnesota, one in New Hampshire, one in Tennessee and one in Washington.The Bountiful, Utah, and San Ramon, California, locations each had the highest number of minors affected, with nine at both stores.
Crumbl, according to investigators, primarily had children working too many hours. Federal law states that 14- and 15-year-olds cannot work more than eight hours a day or more than 40 hours in a workweek — whether school is in session or not.
