Reckitt Benckiser agreed to a $3.275 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it falsely advertised Woolite Color Renew products as able to revive colors, and no proof of purchase is required for consumers to participate.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased Woolite Color Renew products in California between Feb. 1, 2017, and May 1, 2023; in New York between Feb. 22, 2018, and May 1, 2023; and/or in Massachusetts between Feb. 22, 2017, and May 1, 2023.

Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim Reckitt Benckiser violated California, New York and Massachusetts laws by falsely advertising its Woolite Color Renew products as capable of renewing or reviving colors in laundry. The class action lawsuit argues that these claims are untrue and misleading.

Reckitt Benckiser is a hygiene and personal-care company that owns numerous prominent brands, such as Air Wick, Lyson and Woolite.

Reckitt hasn’t admitted wrongdoing but agreed to a $3.275 million settlement to resolve the false advertising class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the number of products they purchased. 

Claimants in the class action lawsuit settlement who submit no proof of purchase can receive payments for up to three bottles of Woolite Color Renew products. 

With proof of purchase, class members can claim additional bottles of the products. 

No payment estimates are available at this time. Payments will vary depending on the number of claims filed, each claimant’s purchases and other factors.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 19, 2023.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Feb. 1, 2024.

In order to receive a settlement payment, class members must submit a valid claim form by Dec. 19, 2023.

Who’s Eligible

Consumers who purchased Woolite Color Renew products in California between Feb. 1, 2017 and May 1, 2023, in New York between Feb. 22, 2018 and May 1, 2023 and/or in Massachusetts between Feb. 22, 2017 and May 1, 2023

Potential Award

Varies

Proof of Purchase

No proof of purchase is required for individuals to submit a claim in the class action lawsuit settlement. However, those who wish to claim more than three bottles must provide documentation such as a receipt, shipping confirmation, email receipt or picture of the product that establishes the class member purchased Woolite bottles with a label bearing the phrases “Color Renew” and/or “revives colors” in California, New York or Massachusetts during the relevant class periods.
