Albertsons class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Teresa Flores has filed a class action lawsuit against Albertsons Companies Inc.
- Why: Flores claims Albertsons falsely advertises its Signature Care Sensitive Skin Body Wash as being hypoallergenic and formulated for sensitive skin.
- Where: The Albertsons class action lawsuit was filed in California federal court.
A new class action lawsuit claims that Albertsons falsely advertises its Signature Care Sensitive Skin Body Wash as being hypoallergenic and formulated for sensitive skin, despite containing known allergens.
Plaintiff Teresa Flores claims Albertsons misleads consumers into believing the body wash is comparable to Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash, which does not contain the allergens in question.
“Defendant’s claim that the Product is hypoallergenic and formulated for sensitive skin and comparable to Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash is false and misleading to reasonable consumers,” the Albertsons class action lawsuit states.
Flores wants to represent a California class of consumers who purchased the Signature Care Sensitive Skin Body Wash for personal, household or family use.
Albertsons body wash contains two common allergens, class action lawsuit claims
Flores argues the body wash contains Methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) and Methylisothiazolinone (MI), two common allergens that can cause allergic reactions in individuals with sensitive skin.
Methylisothiazolinone was named allergen of the year in 2013 by the American Contact Dermatitis Society, a group of 2,500 health care professionals focused on advancing care for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and related inflammatory skin diseases, the Albertsons class action lawsuit states.
Flores claims Albertsons intended for consumers to rely on its representation that the body wash is hypoallergenic and that it is reasonable for consumers to do so.
“Consumers lack the ability to test or independently ascertain the accuracy of a consumer product label or its potential to cause ACD at the point of sale,” the Albertsons class action lawsuit argues. “Reasonable consumers must and do rely on companies to honestly report the nature of a product’s characteristics or ingredients.”
Flores claims Albertsons is guilty of breaching express warranty and violating California’s Unfair Competition Law and Consumers Legal Remedies Act. She demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory and punitive damages for herself and all class members.
In another class action lawsuit, Albertsons recently asked a federal judge to dismiss a case alleging its Signature Select Fruit & Grain bars are deceptively labeled as naturally flavored.
