 Unilever agreed to pay $2 million to resolve a Suave benzene class action claiming the company sold aerosol deodorants that were contaminated with benzene, a human carcinogen linked to blood cancer. No proof of purchase is required for consumers to benefit from the Suave settlement.
The Suave settlement benefits consumers who purchased Suave 24-Hour Protection Powder Aerosol Antiperspirant and Suave 24-Hour Protection Fresh Aerosol Antiperspirant products between Jan. 1, 2018, and March 7, 2024.
According to the Suave benzene class action lawsuit, Unilever endangered consumers by selling Suave deodorant products that were contaminated with benzene. Though Unilver recalled these products in March 2022, consumers allegedly may have been exposed to benzene. Benzene exposure is linked to leukemia and other serious health conditions.
Unilever is a household product manufacturer that sells products under numerous brands, including Suave.
Unilever hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $2 million Suave benzene settlement to resolve the class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the Suave benzene settlement, class members can receive a full refund of the price they paid for covered products as long as they can provide proof of purchase with their valid claim. Without proof of purchase, class members can receive $3.29, the average retailed price, per purchased product for up to three products per household.Â
Class members’ payments will be reduced by the amount of cash or voucher payments the class member has received or will receive for claims made through the reimbursement recall program. Class member payments may be increased or decreased proportionately so that the total amount paid equals the available Suave settlement funds.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is July 15, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the Suave settlement is scheduled for Sept. 13, 2024.
Class members must submit a valid claim form by July 15, 2024, to benefit from the Suave benzene settlement.

One More thing that I use that could kill me. Please add me
Wait! What? Did I read that right? We must have itemized receipts or other proof of purchase to file a claim. Who keeps receipts for over 6 years? I barely have receipts from 6 days ago. That doesn’t make any sense to me. Smh
Add me to this
SAUVE is what. I have purchased for my self and family members for many years. Add me please
Just 2 million for poisoning people?
Unilever annual gross profit for 2023 was $74.141B, a 17.14% increase from 2022.
So they profited 203 Million per day in 2023 and they are being fined 0.9% of their daily profit?
Sounds like quite the harsh punishment for POISONING people.
The fact that this started in 2018 and you need receipts? Who keeps them that long? …smh add me
