Church & Dwight, the parent company of Batiste, has settled a significant class action lawsuit for $2.5 million. The lawsuit alleged that Batiste's dry shampoo products contained harmful levels of benzene, a known carcinogen linked to various health issues, including cancer. This settlement opens up a potential refund opportunity for consumers who purchased these products.
Those who purchased specific Batiste products before May 30, 2023, are particularly affected. They can submit claims to receive either a full refund or a product voucher, depending on whether they have proof of purchase. This action highlights the increasing scrutiny and regulatory concerns surrounding consumer safety in personal care products.
