A federal judge has preliminarily approved a class action lawsuit settlement between Procter & Gamble Co. and consumers who allege the company falsely advertised the benefits of its Crest Sensitivity Treatment & Protection toothpaste.
The proposed Crest Sensitivity settlement will provide consumers a $4 refund for one tube of toothpaste each if they purchased the product in the U.S.
New Jersey plaintiff Edward Rossi and other consumers sued Procter & Gamble in December 2011 claiming the toothpaste failed to deliver relief from tooth sensitivity “within minutes” as advertised, and that P&G’s false advertising induced consumers into paying as much as 75% more for Crest Sensitivity Treatment & Protection over comparable products that require weeks of use to reduce tooth sensitivity.
Furthermore, the class action lawsuit alleged, Crest Sensitivity Treatment & Protection is essentially identical to Crest Pro-Health toothpaste except for the packaging, color and price – which is $3 higher than Crest Pro-Health.
P&G denies the allegations but has agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.
U.S. District Judge Jose Linares conditionally certified the Settlement Class and preliminarily approved the deal, saying it provides adequate relief to the plaintiffs and fairly and efficiently resolves the claims that Procter & Gamble violated state consumer fraud laws.
