$2.9 Million Tom’s of Maine Toothpaste Class Action Settlement

$2.9 million nationwide Tom’s of Maine toothpaste class action settlement granted final approval.

Jeffrey I. Carton and Denlea & Carton LLP represented plaintiffs and consumers in a nationwide class action against Colgate-Palmolive Company and Tom’s of Maine, Inc., alleging that certain Tom’s toothpaste products were marketed as natural, healthy, safe, and manufactured under rigorous standards despite conditions identified during a 2024 FDA inspection of Tom’s Sanford, Maine, manufacturing facility. The litigation involved alleged deceptive marketing and economic losses associated with consumer toothpaste purchases. On September 23, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York granted final approval to a $2.9 million nationwide class settlement and dismissed the action with prejudice.
