Coppertone sunscreen class action settlementCoppertone sunscreen class action settlement have been mailed to eligible Class Members. Top Class Actions readers are reporting they’ve received checks ranging from $4.50 to $13.50. Many of the checks were received yesterday and today.

The Coppertone sunscreen settlement resolves a long-running class action lawsuit (Brody v. Merck & Co.) that accused Merck (formerly Schering-Plough) of exaggerating the benefits of its sunscreen products, specifically by using the terms “sunblock,” “waterproof,” “all day” and “all day protection.”

Merck denied any wrongdoing and maintained that its sunscreen products met standards set by the FDA, but agreed to compensate consumers through a class action lawsuit settlement. Consumers who purchased eligible Coppertone sunscreen products in the United States between July 31, 2006, and October 5, 2012, were able to file a claim to receive a partial cash refund from the class action settlement. The deadline to file a claim was March 4, 2013.
