However, generally, companies may spin brands off for reasons such as: https://www.finra.org/investors/insights/splitting-difference-four-reasons-why-corporations-pursue-spinoffs https://www.finra.org/investors/insights/splitting-differenc... Are these reasons sometimes convenient covers for what is really an attempt to avoid liability? Of course, and probably fairly often.
