A two-year old interview is coming back to haunt Trina Spear, the co-CEO of Figs, the maker of fashionable medical scrubs.

In the interview, Spear appears to admit that much of the research and impetus for starting the fast-growing company came from a 300-page confidential report on the sector she lifted from private-equity giant Blackstone Group — and promptly sent to her pal Heather Hasson, according to a report.

“I did a private equity deal in the medical apparel space,” Spear told an audience during a 2018 Miami Refresh podcast, according to the report in the New York Post. “Sent her [Hasson] all the materials I’d worked on. That can’t leave this room. They are super confidential.”

A video of the podcast had been posted on YouTube but has since been, er, scrubbed, The Post reported. Spear, Hasson and Figs were sued in 2019 by rival scrubs maker Strategic Partners for unfair business practices and breach of fiduciary duty, among other allegations.

The long-buried interview is reappearing at an inopportune time for Spear and Hasson. The two hope to cash in on their Figs startup through an initial public offering that, The Post reported, is being planned for the first half of 2021.

The interview could cause some unexpected turbulence for Figs and its two co-founders, who have been hailed in recent years as innovative executives successfully disrupting the $2.1 billion US market for scrubs.

Recently, the reputation of the two executives as deft marketers was sullied a bit after took Figs had to apologize after one of its advertising videos showed a female doctor reading “Medical Terminology for Dummies” — and the book was upside down. One female doctor called the video “disrespectful and disheartening.”

Figs’ revenues are slated grow by 124 percent this year to $250 million and the company is poised to turn an operating profit this year after breaking even in 2019, The Post reported.

In its lawsuit, Strategic Partners claims Figs started out as a necktie manufacturer but switched to making scrubs after the two executives got their hand on the Blackstone report, The Post reported.

SPI’s lawsuit also claims Figs has as relied on false marketing, including its popular Threads-for-Threads program, which promises to give one pair of scrubs away to a needy healthcare worker for each one sold in the US, the Post reported.

“Figs has produced no evidence as to the number or type of scrubs allegedly donated in their one-for-one donation scheme,” SPI claims in the complaint, according to the report. And Strategic, in the lawsuit, also takes issues with Figs’ claims that its anti-microbial fabric reduces hospital-acquired infection rates by 66 percent, the report said. Strategic hired an independent consultant to test the fabric and found that bacteria lived on the scrubs long after it made contact, The Post reported.

SPI, which does business as Careismatic Brands, also uses antimicrobial fabric in its scrubs but does not claim to kill a specific percentage of bacteria, The Post reported.

Figs told The Post the claims in the lawsuit are “completely without merit.
