ChapStick "100% Natural" Class Action

A ChapStick class action lawsuit has received certification from the courts. The original ChapStick class action lawsuit alleged that certain ChapStick products were falsely advertised as "100% natural" when they actually contained synthetic or highly processed ingredients such as citric acid and hydrogenated soybean oil. The class action lawsuit claims that this misled consumers, in direct violation of certain California consumer protection laws.

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

There is no mention of a settlement amount as of yet since the ChapStick class action lawsuit is still in the class certification stage and has not reached a final settlement. Stay tuned here to see any updates to the case.

How Do I Qualify For a Payout?

Currently, there is no payout available. The ChapStick case has only certified a class for injunctive relief, not for damages. What injunctive relief means is that there is a court order for ChapStick not to label its products in an allegedly false way anymore. To potentially qualify in the future for a class action payout, it is possible that those who purchased specific ChapStick products labeled as "100% natural" within the relevant time period, may be qualified for some sort of class action payout in the future.

How Much Will I Get Paid?

At this time, there is no information about potential payouts in the ChapStick lawsuit. The judge denied certification of a damages class, meaning monetary compensation is not yet currently part of the case, and may not be in the future.

How Do I File a Claim?

There is no claims process mentioned, as the case has not reached a settlement stage. The class action lawsuit is still ongoing, with only a class for injunctive relief certified at this time.
