Donna Connary, et al. v. S.C. Johnson & Son Inc., Case No. RG20061675 in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County
The plaintiffs in the Method class action lawsuit had argued the products’ claims of being non-toxic were false and misleading because the products have the capacity to harm humans or the environment.
The Class in the Method class action lawsuit settlement includes anyone living in the United States who purchased certain Method products with “non-toxic” labels in the United States between May 14, 2016, and May 13, 2021, for use and not for resale.

The Court granted preliminary approval to this settlement May 13, 2021.
Each Class Member’s payment will depend on the number of Method cleaners or products purchased that had the “non-toxic” labels, as well as on the number of valid claims submitted.
Class Members who have proof of purchase (itemized store receipts, loyalty/membership card printouts, non-identical original UPC codes, and pictures of non-identical UPC codes) may file a claim form seeking reimbursement of $1 for every covered product purchased.
Class Members who do not have proof of purchase may seek a reimbursement of $1 for up to 10 products purchased.
A Class Member may file a claim for products both with and without proof of purchase. These types of claims will be subject to the same potential reimbursement maximums allowed.
Each type of claim requires the Class Member to state, under penalty of perjury, that they purchased the Method cleaner for personal use; all claims must include the approximate dates of purchase.
If the total amount of claims and other expenses exceeds the settlement fund amount, each claimant’s award will be reduced proportionately; if money remains in the fund, awards may be proportionately increased.
In addition to the monetary relief, S.C. Johnson has agreed the covered Method products will no longer be advertised as “non-toxic.”
The deadline to opt out of or object to the Method class action lawsuit settlement is Oct. 18, 2021.
