Claim Form Deadline: Ongoing

Estimated Payout: Varies

Proof required: No

Did Your Child Use Fluoride Toothpaste?

This class action investigation is closed to new claims. You may have previously qualified to be part of a kids fluoride toothpaste class action investigation into whether certain popular toothpastes were used appropriately for very young children.

The children's toothpastes and mouthwash products at issue in the investigation include Colgate, Crest, Tom's, among others.

The focus is on children who were 3 years old or younger when using fluoride products due to concerns about potential overexposure to fluoride in this age group. Kids under 3 years old may be particularly more likely to swallow toothpaste and less able to follow usage instructions, endangering them to potentially dangerous levels of chemicals such as fluoride.

It's important to note that while fluoride toothpaste can be beneficial for cavity prevention, its use in very young children requires careful consideration and adherence to professional guidelines to balance benefits and potential risks.

How Do I Qualify?

This investigation is closed to new claims at this time. It was previous based on the following qualifications:

1. Whether your child or children were 3 years old or younger at the time.

2. Did your dentist inform you as to the quantity of toothpaste or rinse to use?

3. Whether or not your child tried to consume the toothpaste or mouthwash.

4. The amount of time your child or children use the relevant fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash.

5. Quantity or portion of toothpaste used on your child's toothbrush (Full, Half, or Quarter strips).
