Too Faced Cosmetics faces a class action lawsuit alleging that their โBetter Than Sexโ Mascara does not boost volume as advertised.
Plaintiffs Jodi Floth and Veronica Eshelby have filed a class action against Too Faced Cosmetics LLC alleging that their Better Than Sex Mascara does not boost lash volume by โ1,944%โย as the productโs packaging claims.
Both Floth and Eshelby allegedly purchased the Better Than Sex Mascara in September 2017 and October 2016, respectively. They argue that the product did not provide better volume than competitor products that are sold for โless than half the price.โ
Better Than Sex Mascara comes in a .027 oz. bottle which retails for $23 or a 0.17 oz. bottle which retails for $20. Both Floth and Eshelby claim that they would not have purchased the product for a premium price had they known the 1,944 percent claim was misleading.
The Better Than Sex Mascara class action lawsuit says the productโs packaging contains statements such as โ1,944% more volume!* [โฆ] *results observed in a clinical study,โ โDonโt miss out on the mind-blowing mascara that gives your lashes 1,944% more volume,โ and โToo Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara is a sweat-proof, waterproof, play-proof mascara that gives you 1,944% more volume.** [โฆ] **clinical study results.โ
According to the Too Faced Cosmetics class action lawsuit,ย the company was investigated by the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Better Business Bureau in 2017 after the brand faced multiple allegations that their 1,944 percent claim was false and misleading. Following their investigation, the NAD allegedly recommended that Too Faced discontinue their 1,944 percent volume claim.
The Better Than Sex Mascara class action lawsuit says that despite the NADโs recommendation Too Faced allegedly refused to stop using the 1,944 percent claim but agreed to stop referencing clinical studies in their advertising.
The cosmetics brand also said that they would discontinue their Home Shopping Network video. However, as of April 20, 2018 the company has allegedly not yet removed the video from the platform.
The Home Shopping Network video reportedly features a host and a Too Faced representative discussing the claims of the Better Than Sex Mascara. In the video, the brand representative reportedly says, โIsnโt it crazy? 1,944%! This is a study of 40 women after 3 coats of Better Than Sex, that is the percentage, 1,944% improvement in the appearance. Itโs an incredible claim.โ Of the clinical studies claims, the brand representative allegedly states โwe do it in the lab [โฆ] and we do study after study. [โฆ] That is truth it is 1,944%. Itโs crazy, but itโs true.โ
Floth and Eshelby seek to represent a Class of consumers who purchased Better Than Sex Mascara within the relevant statute of limitations. They also seek to represent a California statewide Class of consumers under similar circumstances.
The Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara class action lawsuit seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, restitution, disgorgement, court costs, and attorneysโ fees.
The plaintiffsย are represented by Robert Starr, Adam Rose, and Manny Starr of Frontier Law Center.
The Too Faced Cosmetics Better Than Sex Mascara 1,944% More Volume Class Action Lawsuit is Floth and Eshelby v. Too Faced Cosmetics LLC, Case No. 8:18-cv-00707, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
