A group of guys who used Just for Men hair dye have filed a class action lawsuit against the product’s makers saying that they suffered permanent skin discoloration.
Louisiana resident Ray Du Boc Ali states that he experienced rashes and burns on his face after using the Just for Men beard and mustache dye.
Allegedly, he also suffered permanent skin discoloration from the product because it contained harsh chemicals.
Du Boc Ali states that the beard and mustache dye contains p-phenylenediamine, or PPD, a known irritant. Allegedly, it is a “coal tar dye,” meaning it is made from petroleum.
The Just For Men class action lawsuit states that the instructions for use of the product informs users to conduct a “patch test” on a small area of skin before using the product on the entirety of a beard or mustache, to test for possible allergies or negative reactions to the ingredients in the product.
However, the test patch exposes users to risk and is dangerous because it reportedly does not meet regulations for such tests set forth by the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Allegedly, typical patch tests are conducted with the testing area covered, but in contrast, Combe Inc. instructs Just For Men users to leave the area uncovered for at least 48 hours. Du Boc Ali says that this technique is flawed because it allows the test patch to become contaminated.
The Just For Men skin irritant class action lawsuit argues that the test is flawed because though the product contains a harsh, irritating chemical, the patch test is conducted by users with no training in understanding the results of the test. Additionally, the company allegedly does not tell users to contact their doctors about the patch test.
The Just For Men class action lawsuit goes on to assert that the instructions do not tell users how much product to apply, so customers may end up exposing themselves to much higher amounts of PPD than they would have been exposed to had the test been properly controlled.
Allegedly, this can result in skin irritation, rashes, and burning. In the case of Du Boc Ali, this allegedly resulted in him developing permanent skin discoloration.
According to the Just For Men beard and mustache dye class action lawsuit, the Just For Men patch test “is an unregulated, uncontrolled, open, random experiment requiring self-administration of strong allergens by untrained consumers for diagnostic purposes.”
The Just For Men allergen class action lawsuit asserts that the dye does not include a disclaimer warning users of risks of burns and discoloration. Allegedly, such a warning is required by the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
The men are represented by Shane C. Fulton, Janet G. Abaray and Kenneth M. Daly of Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine PC.
The Just For Men Dye Irritant Class Action Lawsuit is Du Boc Ali, et al. v. Combe Inc., et al., Case No. 7:19-cv-06187, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

I used Just for men jet black to dye my hair and it caused severe burning, swelling and yellow Sebrum substance was leaking out of my head. I applied the patch test and I did not break out It started coming out all over my head and I was out of work for three weeks. It was the most herendous affect I had ever witnessed. It is absolutely not safe. I still to this day have issues with it coming out of my blood stream.
Did you get any compensation
First time I used Just For Men to dye my beard and mustache back in Sept-2019 without any issues.
I bought this JFM 55 for the 2nd time this month January-2020 and applied it on January-21-2020 for a job interview that I have on Monday. I did the test on my arm/elbow and nothing happened so after 2 days I proceeded to dye the beard. Now I have an extreme sensation, itching, burning! Swelling and puss. I will have to go to ER because it’s hurting bad. I will be missing work tomorrow and I don’t know how many more days unpaid cause I can’t shave and my job requires professional appearance. I have the leftover product with the package. I also have 2 pictures of my beard/puss. I wanna be the part of this lawsuit. The product should be removed from the shelves immediately.
My buddy and I used Just for men beard and mustache last night to die our mustaches darker. I had a extrem reach to it on my patch of hair on my chin. I have rashes all around my chin and cheeks. Please add me to the lawsuit I have pictures to prove it.
I have a spot on top of my head that turned black. I have very short kept hair. So the discolored spot sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s very embarrassing since nothing has helped. I liked how it colored the grey. But it burned my head and face. I had to shave my beard. Because my face kept blistering and burning and itching like crazy. I still have the unused portion left. Please add me to the law suit.

I used Just for Men for years … never had a problem it was good so far . In 2019 I want to think they add a new ingredient or something because In April , day after dye i felt a mild itching but nothing big . Decided to shave the whole beard and have picture to prove all the beard was de pigmented like someone who painted me in white , was exactly the beard and off course I have pictures to prove it . No need to tell the hell my life has been since then , Derma treatments and psychological war . This product needs to be remove. There is no money that can pay the suffering I’ve been going through
