Mielle Organics class action claims rosemary mint products injure consumers

Mielle Organics class action lawsuit overview: 

• Who: Plaintiffs Stephanie Williams, Georgina Gomes and Krista Gillette filed a class action lawsuit against Mielle Organics LLC and The Procter & Gamble Co. 
• Why: Williams, Gomes and Gillette claim Mielle Organics failed to disclose its rosemary mint hair care products may cause hair loss and other injuries. 
• Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Illinois federal court. 

Mielle Organics rosemary mint hair care products contain ingredients that cause hair loss and other injuries, a new class action lawsuit alleges. 

Plaintiff’s Stephanie Williams, Georgina Gomes and Krista Gillette’s class action lawsuit claims Mielle Organics — owned by The Procter & Gamble Co. — misrepresented the rosemary mint hair care products as safe. 

Williams, Gomes and Gillette argue Mielle Organics also failed to disclose the alleged dangers associated with using its rosemary mint hair care products. 

“The products contain ingredients that cause and have caused hair loss and other injuries in its users, including plaintiffs and those in the proposed class,” the Mielle Organics class action says. 

The plaintiffs want to represent a nationwide class of consumers who purchased Mielle Organics rosemary mint hair care products for personal or household use. 

The group also wants to represent subclasses of consumers who purchased the products for personal or household use in the states of California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York and Washington. 

Mielle Organics failed to adequately test rosemary mint hair care products, class action claims

Williams, Gomes and Gillette argue Mielle Organics must have failed to adequately test their rosemary mint hair care products, as they would have discovered they contained ingredients that cause hair loss, making them “ineligible for distribution.” 

“Accordingly, (Mielle Organics) knowingly, or at least negligently, introduced harmful and/or misbranded Products into the U.S. market,” the class action says. 

The plaintiffs claim Mielle Organics and Procter & Gamble are guilty of fraud and unjust enrichment and violating state consumer fraud acts. 

They demand a jury trial and request declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory, statutory and punitive damages for themselves and all class members. 

A consumer filed a similar class action lawsuit against Mielle Organics last month over claims the company’s Rosemary Mint Scalp & Strengthening Hair Oil causes hair loss.
