If you purchased certain Pine-Sol® Scented products in the United States between Nov. 1, 2018, and Nov. 15, 2023, a class action settlement could affect your rights.
Clorox agreed to a $5.65 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it sold certain scented Pine-Sol products contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.Â
The class is made up of anyone in the United States who, between Nov. 1, 2018, and Nov. 15, 2023, purchased in the United States for household use and not for resale or distribution, one or more Pine-Sol Scented products, including Pine-Sol Multi-Surface Cleaners in Lavender Clean, Sparkling Wave and Lemon Fresh scents; all CloroxPro Pine-Sol All Purpose Cleaners in Lavender Clean, Sparking Wave, Lemon Fresh and Orange Energy scents; and Clorox Professional Pine-Sol Lemon Fresh cleaners. Original (Pine Scent) is not included in the settlement.
Consumers filed class action lawsuits after Clorox announced on or around Oct. 25, 2022, that laboratory testing identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria in certain scented Pine-Sol products. The company, along with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, initiated a recall.Â
The defendant denies all claims and that they violated any law. The plaintiffs and the defendant agreed to a settlement to avoid the costs and risks of a trial and to allow class members to receive payments from the settlement. The plaintiffs and their attorneys think the settlement is best for all class members.
Under the terms of the Pine-Sol settlement, all class members who submit a valid and timely claim form are eligible to receive a monetary payment.Â
Class members who submit a claim with no proof of purchase are eligible to receive $3.57 per class product purchased, up to a maximum of two, for a total potential payment of $7.14.
Class members who submit proof of purchase along with their claim are entitled to receive a full refund of the documented amount spent on the class products. Those who received a refund for one or more class products in connection with the recall will not receive a payment for the refunded products.
The settlement administrator may adjust payment amounts on a pro rata basis so the total amount paid to all class members equals the available funds.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the settlement is Feb. 7, 2024.
The final hearing is scheduled for May 22, 2024.
Consumers must submit claim forms no later than Feb. 7, 2024.
