Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. — whose consumer health brands, including Neutrogena and Aveeno, are now part of Kenvue Brands, LLC — agreed to a $1,750,000 class action settlement resolving claims over certain sunscreen products. Under the settlement, the company provided vouchers to consumers without requiring proof of purchase.
The lawsuit's central allegation was that certain Johnson & Johnson sunscreen products may have contained carcinogens. Johnson & Johnson denied the allegations and did not admit wrongdoing; the parties resolved the case through settlement to avoid the cost and risk of continued litigation.
Consumers who purchased the following Neutrogena or Aveeno sunscreen products in the United States between May 26, 2015 and April 8, 2022 were eligible for reimbursement or vouchers:
• Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer® Dry-Touch Water Resistant Sunscreen Lotion
• Neutrogena® Sheer Zinc™ Dry-Touch Face Sunscreen Lotion
• Aveeno® Baby Continuous Protection® Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Lotion
Each eligible household could receive up to two vouchers, each valued at $10.58, for a combined maximum of $21.16 in vouchers per household. No proof of purchase was required. The court held a final approval hearing on August 12, 2022. The deadline to file a claim was July 2, 2022, and vouchers were subsequently distributed to consumers with valid, timely claims.
