Rodan + Fields will pay $38 million to resolve several class action lawsuits surrounding its Lash Boost product, and Class Members can collect a cash payment of up to $175 or a credit voucher worth up to $250 without proof of purchase with their claim form. 

The class action lawsuit settlement benefits consumers who purchased Rodan + Fields Lash Boost between Oct. 1, 2016, and March 11, 2022.

Rodan + Fields is a multilevel marketing company specializing in skincare products. One of the company’s most popular products is Lash Boost — a lash serum advertised to dramatically increase lash length and density. 

Although many customers swear by Lash Boost for growing their lashes, others say the product is actually a misbranded drug that can cause serious side effects.

Plaintiffs in three class action lawsuits challenge the ingredients of Lash Boost, specifically isopropyl cloprostenate. Isopropyl cloprostenate is a prostaglandin analog — a type of chemical used in glaucoma treatments. Due to this drug ingredient, plaintiffs argue that Lash Boost should be regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and treated as a drug instead of an untested cosmetics product.

Because Lash Boost is unregulated, consumers are allegedly not warned about the risks associated with isopropyl cloprostenate. According to the Lash Boost class action lawsuits, Rodan + Fields customers unknowingly used this medical drug near their eyes and put themselves at risk for adverse reactions such as eye irritation, macular edema, iris color change, and ocular inflammation. 

In addition to causing adverse side effects, the inclusion of isopropyl cloprostenate allegedly contradicts Rodan + Fields’ marketing promises that Lash Boost is “not a drug product,” “contains only cosmetic ingredients,” and is “not associated with any significant side effects.” 

Rodan + Fields didn’t admit any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $38 million to resolve three Lash Boost class action lawsuits.

Under the terms of the Rodan + Fields Lash Boost class action lawsuit settlement, Class Members can collect either a cash payment or a credit voucher. 

Consumers who purchased Lash Boost only once or who do not provide proof of purchase can collect a cash payment of up to $175 or a credit voucher worth up to $250. 

Class Members who provide proof of purchasing Lash Boost more than once can double their benefits for a maximum cash payment of $350 or a credit voucher up to $500.

In addition to providing cash to fund these benefits, Rodan + Fields has agreed to make Lash Boost label changes to revise instructions, warnings, and other information.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is July 14, 2022. 

The final approval hearing for the Lash Boost class action settlement is scheduled for Sept. 14, 2022.

In order to receive a Lash Boost settlement payment, Class Members must submit a valid claim form by Sept. 7, 2022.
