Unilever Faces Class Action Over TRESemmé Shampoo Linked to Hair Loss
A group of consumers filed a class action in New Jersey federal court against Conopco Inc., doing business as Unilever Home & Personal Care USA, alleging Unilever’s TRESemmé shampoo and conditioner caused hair loss. Plaintiffs claim the products contain DMDM hydantoin, that Unilever knew it could cause hair loss and scalp irritation, yet continued using it despite earlier litigation involving a Suave product. They seek compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and a jury trial.
