Tom's toothpaste at center of class-action settlement. See if you could be owed money
- Colgate-Palmolive Company agreed to a $2.9 million settlement resolving class-action lawsuits against its subsidiary, Tom's of Maine, over alleged deceptive marketing practices regarding toothpaste manufacturing and sales.
- The legal action followed a May 2024 inspection of the company's manufacturing facility in Sanford, Maine, where the U.S. Food and Drug Administration raised concerns that conditions were "not in compliance" with Current Good Manufacturing Processes.
- Customers who purchased Tom's toothpaste between November 21, 2020, and March 6, 2026, are eligible to file claims, with approved claimants receiving a full refund for up to three products or the average retail price of $5.99 per household.
- Tom's denies the allegations but agreed to the settlement to avoid litigation costs, with eligible customers required to submit claims online or by mail by July 6, 2026.
- A final approval hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET on September 10, 2026, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York to finalize the settlement.
