Grande Cosmetics false advertising $6.25M class action lawsuit settlement

Grande Cosmetics agreed to a $6.25 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming that its lash, brow and hair products contain undisclosed drugs that pose serious side effect risks.

The class action lawsuit settlement benefits consumers who purchased GrandeLASH-MD, GrandeBROW or GrandeHAIR from Grande between Jan. 1, 2018, and Dec. 14, 2023.

According to the class action lawsuit, Grande failed to warn consumers that its GrandeLASH-MD, GrandeBROW and GrandeHAIR products contain isopropyl cloprostenate — a drug used to treat glaucoma. Isopropyl cloprostenate can allegedly cause eye inflammation and other serious side effects that Grande Cosmetics did not disclose.

Grande Cosmetics is a skincare, hair care and makeup brand that sells lash boosters, brow boosters and more at Sephora, Ulta and other retailers.

Grande Cosmetics hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $6.25 million settlement to resolve the false advertising class action lawsuit.

Under the settlement terms, class members can receive a cash payment of $150 from the settlement, even without proof of purchase. If money remains after payments are distributed to all eligible class members who submit valid claims, those who purchased two or more Grande products and can provide proof of purchase could receive an additional payment of $150, for a total payment of up to $300.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Feb. 6, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the GrandeLASH-MD, GrandeBROW or GrandeHAIR settlement is scheduled for March 13, 2024.

Class members must submit a valid claim form by Feb. 27, 2024, to receive a settlement payment.
