If you bought a children's mineral sunscreen through Amazon — Sun Bum Baby, ThinkBaby, Blue Lizard or a store brand — this suit is about what was allegedly never disclosed on the listing. There is nothing to claim yet.

This article describes a class action complaint. The statements below are unproven allegations, including the plaintiffs' own product-testing results. Amazon.com, Inc. has not been found liable, there is no certified class, and nothing to claim at this time. This page is informational and is not legal or medical advice.
What Is This About?
Amazon is facing a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that it sold children's mineral sunscreens that contain undisclosed heavy metals — including lead and cadmium — without warning shoppers on the product listings.The case is captioned Wolf v. Amazon.com, Inc. and was filed on April 30, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, where Amazon is headquartered. The named plaintiffs, Lauren Wolf and Elizabeth Correia, allege they purchased children's mineral sunscreen products through Amazon and would not have bought them — or would have paid less — had the alleged presence of heavy metals been disclosed. Amazon has not been found liable, and the claims, including the plaintiffs' testing figures, remain unproven.

What the Lawsuit Alleges
Mineral sunscreens — often marketed for babies and young children as a "clean" or "natural" alternative to chemical sunscreens — use mineral UV filters such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. According to the complaint, independent laboratory testing commissioned by the plaintiffs detected heavy metals in children's mineral sunscreen products sold through Amazon, at levels the suit describes as alarmingly high for products marketed for use on infants and children.The complaint alleges the testing found cadmium at levels as high as roughly 656 parts per billion and lead as high as roughly 2,728 parts per billion in tested products, with one children's product — ThinkBaby Clear Zinc — allegedly testing above 1,200 parts per billion of lead. The suit names products including Sun Bum Baby, ThinkBaby, Blue Lizard Baby, and the Whole Foods 365 Sport mineral sunscreen among those tested. Lead and cadmium are heavy metals that health authorities say have no established safe level of exposure for children, which the complaint uses to frame why the alleged omission matters.
The core legal theory is not that the sunscreens necessarily injured anyone, but that Amazon's product listings did not disclose the alleged presence of heavy metals — information the plaintiffs say a reasonable shopper buying sunscreen for a child would want to know. On that basis the suit brings claims including violations of the Washington Consumer Protection Act and fraudulent concealment. It is important to stress that these are allegations: no court has confirmed the plaintiffs' test results, found that the products are unsafe, or ruled that Amazon did anything wrong. Manufacturers and Amazon may dispute the testing methodology and the results.
Which Products Are Named?
Based on the complaint and reporting on the case, the tested children's mineral sunscreens include:• Sun Bum Baby mineral sunscreen
• ThinkBaby (Clear Zinc) mineral sunscreen
• Blue Lizard Baby mineral sunscreen
• Whole Foods 365 Sport mineral sunscreen
The suit focuses on these products as sold through Amazon. Because no class has been certified and the testing has not been validated in court, the list of covered products and the specific findings could change as the case proceeds. If you own one of these products, its appearance here does not mean your particular bottle has been tested or is unsafe — it means the product is among those the plaintiffs put at issue.
Is There an Amazon Sunscreen Settlement Yet?
No. This is a lawsuit, not a settlement.That means:
• There is no settlement fund.
• There is no claim form.
• There is no payout, and no deadline to act.
• Consumers do not need to do anything at this stage.
The filing of a complaint is the start of a case, not the end. Amazon has not been found liable simply because a lawsuit was filed. If the case is ever resolved through a settlement, or a class is certified, a formal claims process with its own eligibility rules and deadlines would be announced separately.
Who Could Be Affected?
The complaint seeks to represent consumers who purchased the named children's mineral sunscreen products through Amazon. Because the case is at the complaint stage, the class definition is not final and could change.If you bought one of these products for a child, you may want to keep the product, the packaging, and your Amazon order records in case a class is later certified or the case settles — that is the kind of information a claims process typically asks about. Any question about a child's health or exposure is a medical question for a pediatrician or a poison-control resource, not something this page can answer. There is nothing to file right now.
Why This Case Matters
The suit lands amid growing consumer and regulatory attention to heavy metals in everyday products marketed for children and health-conscious shoppers. OCA has covered similar disputes over alleged contaminants and undisclosed ingredients, including the Quest protein shake lead (Proposition 65) lawsuit, the Driscoll's strawberries PFAS lawsuit, and false-labeling claims over baby and personal-care products like the Aveeno Baby shampoo "hypoallergenic" lawsuit. A recurring theme in these cases is disclosure: what a company knew, or allegedly should have tested for, and what appeared on the label or listing.What Happens Next?
From here, the case moves through the early stages of federal litigation. Amazon may answer the complaint or move to dismiss — and may challenge the plaintiffs' testing — the parties may exchange information in discovery, and the plaintiffs would eventually ask the court to certify the proposed class. Any of these steps can take months, and the case could be amended, narrowed, or resolved along the way.OpenClassActions.com will continue watching the docket for major updates, including a motion to dismiss, class certification activity, or any future settlement or claim form.
