Case overview
What this settlement is about
Procter & Gamble is facing a proposed class action lawsuit claiming the company misled shoppers about the safety of its Tampax Pearl and Tampax Radiant tampons. According to the suit, these products contain lead, a toxic heavy metal tied to serious health risks, and P&G allegedly failed to warn consumers of its presence. Plaintiffs argue this amounts to false advertising and a violation of California's Unlawful and Fraudulent Competition Law. A California federal court has allowed the case to proceed, meaning the allegations have not yet been proven and no settlement has been reached.
