Watson v. THE PROCTOR & GAMBLE COMPANY et al, Case No. 4:2022cv40010, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts
Date Initiated: 01/21/2022
Procter & Gamble and Gillette manufacture, market and sell Gillette, Venus, Braun and Oral-B products with conditional repair warranties, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiff Thomas Watson claims P&G and Gillette make their product warranties subject to tying arrangements, which require them to only be repaired at authorized facilities and/or with authorized parts in violation of federal and state law.
Watson argues P&G and Gillette include labeling on their products’ packaging indicating they have a one-year limited warranty; however, the repair restrictions aren’t revealed until “after the point of sale.”
