Merch company Spring has been hit with numerous lawsuits this year. The creator merchandise company Spring has been hit with a slew of lawsuits this year following the sale of its assets, in late 2022, to the software company Amaze. Spring, as a company, still exists but has been effectively defunct since the asset sale. That hasn't stopped the lawsuits against Spring (formerly known as Teespring) from piling up, however. Since January, Spring has been sued by several vendors and business partners, with global shipping company DHL being the latest to sue the company.

All of the former employees Insider talked to spoke on condition of anonymity to protect career prospects. Five former employees told Insider that We Are Change, and other storefronts like it, were some of the platform's bestsellers.
