California Healthybaby organic diapers investigation

California Healthybaby Diapers possible false organic advertising: Who’s affected?

Are you a California parent who purchased Healthybaby (previously known as Healthynest) diapers because you believed they were organic? If so, you may have a legal claim. 

Healthybaby diapers are advertised as organic, a quality that attracts parents in California and around the country. However, these products may not meet legal organic labeling and advertising standards, and these advertisements may falsely mislead concerned parents into making a purchase they might not otherwise make. 

Healthybaby diapers are advertised as “Ultra soft, organic cotton,” “Safe & Organic,” and as being “made with plant-based materials and organic cotton to feel dreamy soft.” Despite these claims, the diapers are made almost entirely of non-organic materials with a small amount of certified organic cotton. The company does not clearly disclose the diapers are mostly made of conventional, non-organic materials such as polypropylene, polyethylene and polyurethane. 

To make matters worse, these diapers are also advertised and labeled with an “Organic Cotton” seal that appears very similar to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic certification seal. Consumers across the country rely on the USDA’s organic seal to determine the quality of the products they purchase. Misleading consumers into thinking that a product has received USDA organic certification may harm consumers economically.

Are Healthybaby diapers organic?

California and federal laws require that products represented as organic are made of certain minimum percentages of certified organic ingredients. While Healthybaby diapers are repeatedly represented as organic products they are made almost entirely of non-organic materials with a very small amount of certified organic cotton. 

Further misleading consumers, Healthybaby diaper advertisements and packages feature a seal that mimics the USDA “Certified Organic” seal, suggesting these products meet USDA organic advertising and labeling standards. These diapers do not, in fact, meet these standards and have not been certified organic by the USDA.

California consumers and Healthybaby 

California and federal laws prohibit businesses from representing products as organic unless they contain a minimum percentage of certified organic ingredients. California also prohibits businesses from misleading consumers using false advertising. Healthybaby may be violating these laws by representing their products as organic and by featuring a seal that mimics the USDA “Certified Organic” seal. 

California consumers who purchased Healthybaby diapers may have a legal claim if they relied on the Healthybaby advertisements to make their purchase choice. Concerned parents who trusted Healthybaby’s organic claims or who believed the products to be certified organic by the USDA may have a legal claim and may be able to seek compensation for financial injury.

Healthybaby may be violating California and federal organic labeling laws. Suggesting Healthybaby diapers are “Certified Organic” by the USDA may also constitute false advertising under California laws protecting consumers from misleading and false messaging from companies. 

If you are a California consumer who purchased Healthybaby (previously known as Healthynest) diapers because you believed they were organic, you may have a legal claim.
