Tom's Children's Anticavity Fluoride Rinse investigation


What Was This Investigation About?

This investigation is closed and is not accepting new claims. It looked at Tom’s of Maine Children’s Anticavity Fluoride Rinse and whether its marketing and directions adequately addressed fluoride exposure in very young children, who are more likely to swallow a rinse. The investigation’s concerns were questions only; no court has found the product unsafe or its marketing misleading, and no lawsuit, settlement or claim process is open through this page.

A separate, newly filed case involves children’s oral care marketing: a proposed class action over Orajel Naturals kids’ toothpaste claims the “natural” branding is misleading. It is at the complaint stage, and there is nothing to claim yet.

Status Closed to New Claims this investigation is no longer accepting new claimants
Estimated Payout Varies depended on the facts of each case
Proof Required Yes screening asked for proof of purchase and a child’s use of the product
Who Qualified Young Children used Tom's rinse at age 4 or younger, now age 7 or younger


Who Did It Cover?

While it was open, the investigation screened parents whose child used the Tom’s rinse at age 4 or younger and was 7 or younger at the time of screening. It is no longer screening anyone. More open cases are on the Open Class Actions page.
