Case overview
What is the The Procter & Gamble Company case about?
Lisa Phaneuf filed a proposed class action against The Procter & Gamble Company on May 18, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. According to the complaint, P&G markets its Secret Invisible Solid Antiperspirant and Deodorant as “unscented,” yet the product's own ingredient list names “fragrance” as a component, a contradiction Phaneuf says amounts to false advertising. The lawsuit brings claims of fraud and unjust enrichment, contending that shoppers trusted the “unscented” claim when deciding to buy and paid a premium price they wouldn't have paid had they known fragrance was actually included. No settlement has been reached; the case is still in its early stages.
