Reading the First Brands Group WARN Record
First Brands Group has 3 WARN Act filings in this dataset, covering 223 workers between Feb 3, 2026 and Feb 27, 2026. As with any WARN count, the true figure runs somewhat higher (why). By total workers affected, First Brands Group ranks #171 of 2223 tracked employers in TX. Among the 8 other Retail Trade employers with recorded WARN filings, the median is 6,555 affected workers -- First Brands Group's 223 sits well below that group's typical scale. Filings span 3 states, most concentrated in TX (Retail Trade), so more than one state workforce agency and mini-WARN threshold applied depending on where each notice was filed.
Averaging 74 workers per notice, First Brands Group's filings fall into a pattern that suggests targeted team or department cuts that still crossed the WARN reporting threshold. The 3 notices on file represent distinct events, each triggering a 60-day advance warning obligation that fed into state rapid-response systems.
Workers on TX-based First Brands Group notices should contact the TX workforce agency directly, response teams, severance negotiation guidance, and TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) screening move fastest in the days immediately following a notice.
