SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) – A class action lawsuit that S.C. Johnson & Son misled customers when it said its ecover cleaning products are made “with plant-based ingredients” fails to identify a single lie, the company argues.
S.C. Johnson filed a motion to dismiss March 3 in San Francisco federal court against the class action being pursued by the Clarkson Law Firm of Los Angeles and Moon Law in Palo Alto. In a January complaint, those firms targeted the ecover line – which includes laundry detergent, dishwasher tablets and toilet cleaner.
The suit claimed ingredients like coconut and palm oil are subjected to “substantial chemical modification and processing” that creates an entirely new, synthetically created ingredient.”
SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) – A class action plaintiff can’t sue over 26 different types of ChapStick when she only purchased three of them, the products’ maker is arguing.
GlaxoSmithKline filed a motion to dismiss Feb. 26 in San Francisco federal court in its defense against a lawsuit that claims its products aren’t “100% Natural,” as they claim to be.
GSK says Lisa Moore lacks standing to pursue her claims and has also failed to allege enough specific details to justify her fraud allegation. And her claims that the products contain synthetic ingredients are unsupported, the company says.
“She seeks injunctive relief correcting these statements though she no longer claims to be deceived by them and she only intends to purchase them again if they are reformulated to contain only natural ingredients,” says the motion, which was authored by lawyers at Dechert LLP.

New information in the Subaru defective windshield lawsuit covers the 2017-2020 Subaru Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, Impreza, Legacy, and 2019-2020 Subaru Ascent models.

SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) – ChapStick’s lip butter and balms aren’t as natural as their manufacturer claims, class action attorneys allege in a new lawsuit.
Clarkson Law Firm and Moon Law filed suit against GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Holdings and Pfizer on Dec. 16 in California federal court. They say claims of “100% Natural” and “100% Naturally Sourced Ingredients” are misleading buyers of four specific products – Natural Lip Butter, Natural Lip Balm, Essential Oils Lip Balm and Hydration Moisture + Tint Lip Balm.
“(T)he products actually contain numerous non-natural, synthetic, artificial and/or highly processed ingredients,” the suit says. “Through falsely, misleadingly and deceptively labeling the products, Defendants sought to take advantage of consumers’ desire for truly natural products.”
