After only using it a few times I started itching like crazy and ended up with two huge rashes on my skin that were very bad. Amazing deal so I bought 4 sets as things are getting expensive. I bought the cucumber shampoo and conditioner on sale for the combo this week at Shoppers Drug Mart for $4.49. I never used Dove products before but always assumed they were safe. 7:21-cv-03117, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Unilever Body Wash Class Action Lawsuit is Aliyah Anderson et al, v. Have you bought Dove body wash? Let us know what you think of this lawsuit in the comments!Īnderson is represented by Spencer Sheehan of Sheehan & Associates, P.C. For the latest news on Unilever class action lawsuits, click here. Right now, Unilever is facing multiple lawsuits over allegations that its TRESemmé keratin shampoo and conditioner causes scalp irritation and hair loss. Over the years the multinational corporation has found itself facing consumer backlash and criticism regarding the operations of the company and the quality of the products, which have led to a range of class action lawsuits being filed. She’s looking to represent a Class of New York residents who bought the body wash and is seeking certification of the Class, an injunction forcing Unilever to correct its alleged illegal practices, damages, costs, fees and a jury trial.īritish-Dutch consumer goods company Unilever is a well-known global brand that produces many of the household items we are all familiar with, such as Dove, Lipton and Ben & Jerry’s. “ sold more of the product and at a higher price than it would have in absence of this misconduct, resulting in additional profits at the expense of consumers.”Īnderson is suing under New York General Business Law consumer protection statutes, as well as for breach of warranty, fraud and unjust enrichment. “ misrepresented the products through affirmative statements, half-truths, and omissions,” the lawsuit says. The lawsuit cites consumers’ growing desire to buy natural cosmetics, with more people - especially millennials - becoming concerned about synthetic ingredients in cosmetics.

However, she says she would not have paid as much if Unilever had not made “false and misleading statements and omissions” on its packaging. New York resident Aliyah Anderson claims she bought Dove Deep Moisture Bodywash on one or more occasions in 2020, at least once from a Costco.Īnderson wanted to buy a product with the qualities advertised on the label of the body wash, so was willing to pay a premium for it - no less than $5.99 for a 22 OZ bottle. The lawsuit includes an image of the product ingredients, highlighting seven ingredients it alleges are not natural, and are instead made through chemical reactions.

Unilever also markets the product as containing “skin-natural nourishers,” which makes consumers think the product is natural, even though it contains synthetic ingredients, the lawsuit says. The class action claims CAPB is a common trigger for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and contact dermatitis, as well as eye irritation. The main ingredient of the body wash, after water, is cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), the lawsuit states, which is restricted in cosmetics and is unsafe when it is not thoroughly rinsed off the skin, according to the environmental nonprofit Environmental Working Group. “However, the product is not ‘microbiome gentle’ because it contains numerous ingredients which trigger negative skin reactions,” the lawsuit says. In a class action lawsuit filed Saturday in New York federal court, Plaintiff Aliyah Anderson alleges that Dove manufacturer Unilever violated multiple state and federal laws through the marketing of its Dove Deep Moisture Bodywash.Īnderson says the company touts the product’s benefits for the skin microbiome, encouraging people to buy it in order to “start your year with a healthy microbiome.” The complaint was first filed in April 2021 and amended in September.Ī Dove body wash marketed as being “microbiome gentle” and containing “skin-natural nourishers” in fact contains multiple ingredients that trigger skin reactions, a new lawsuit alleges.Karas trimmed a number of other claims from the class action lawsuit, including unjust enrichment and fraud, among other things, but allowed the deceptive labeling claim to proceed. Unilever had asked that the class action claims be dismissed, arguing that the labeling on the Dove product was not misleading.

Plaintiff Aliyah Anderson claims the Dove body wash is not “microbiome gentle” but, rather, deceptively labeled by Unilever.

A New York federal judge ruled Unilever must face claims it violated New York General Business Law by labeling a line of its Dove brand body wash as “microbiome gentle.”.
