Fagan v. Neutrogena Corporation

Plaintiffs brought this suit in July of 2013 on behalf of themselves and all purchasers of Neutrogena “Pure and Free” sunscreen products.  Plaintiffs allege that the labels on the products falsely or misleadingly represent that they contain “100% naturally sourced sunscreen ingredients,” “naturally-sourced sunscreen ingredients” or “100% naturally sourced sunscreens” when in fact they contain numerous unnatural synthetic ingredients.  The District Court denied Defendant’s motions to dismiss the complaint in January of 2014.  In December of 2013 Plaintiffs filed a motion to certify the class.  On November 30, 2017, the Court denied the motion for class certification, after which Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims.
