One woman said she was assaulted by Fayed in Dubai in 1977 — the earliest allegation so far.
Fayed, the former Harrods and Fulham FC owner who died last year aged 94, is accused of multiple sexual assaults after a BBC probe was published last month.
The corporation said 37 of the latest women had worked at the London department store.
Barristers representing alleged victims said last week that the group has more than 70 clients.
The Metropolitan Police has also said it was investigating a number of new allegations made against Mr Al Fayed, in addition to prior reports.
The force said it would carry out “full reviews of all existing allegations” of incidents said to have taken place between 1979 and 2013 to ensure there are “no new lines of inquiry based on new information which has emerged”.
The Met said it was contacting lawyers representing alleged victims to “ensure they have the opportunity to speak with us and report any offences”.
A Harrods statement said: “So far there are 200-plus individuals in the Harrods process to settle claims directly with the business.”
