TRESemmé Naturals Class Action Settlement

Conopco Inc. d/b/a Unilever has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it falsely labeled some of its TRESemmé hair products as natural. If you purchased TRESemmé Naturals products, you may be entitled to compensation from this class action settlement.

If approved, this TRESemmé class action settlement will resolve allegations Unilever falsely labeled some of its hair care products “TRESemmé Naturals” even though they contain synthetic ingredients.

The plaintiffs claim they purchased the items after reading the “natural” label on the product. They say they paid a premium for the TRESemmé Naturals products over products that do not include a “natural” label.

Despite the numerous representation of the products as “natural,” TRESemmé Naturals actually contain several synthetic ingredients such as ammonium laureth sulfate, dipropylene glycol, and disodium EDTA, according to the TRESemmé Naturals class action lawsuit.

The products at issue in the TRESemmé Naturals class action settlement include:

• Nourishing Moisture Shampoo
• Nourishing Moisture Conditioner
• Radiant Volume Shampoo
• Radiant Volume Conditioner
• Vibrantly Smooth Shampoo
• Vibrantly Smooth Conditioner

Unilever denies the allegations but has agreed to pay $3.25 million to settle the TRESemmé Naturals class action settlement and avoid burdensome and costly litigation.

In addition to offering a cash payment to eligible Class Members, Unilever has also agreed to discontinue the sale of the products at issue in the TRESemmé Naturals class action lawsuit.

The TRESemmé class action settlement was preliminarily approved on July 12, 2016.

If you would like to opt out of or object to the TRESemmé class action settlement, you must do so no later than Sept. 29, 2016.
