Tom’s toothpaste settlement: How to file a claim, who qualifies
U.S. consumers who bought certain Tom's of Maine toothpaste may claim refunds as the company denies wrongdoing and settles to avoid litigation costs.
- Colgate-Palmolive, the parent company of Tom's of Maine, agreed to a $2.9 million class action settlement while denying allegations of deceptive business practices related to toothpaste manufacturing and marketing.
- The settlement stems from a lawsuit alleging "deceptive and misleading business practices" following a 2024 U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspection that raised safety concerns at a Maine manufacturing facility.
- Anyone who purchased Tom's toothpaste between Nov. 21, 2020, and March 6, 2026, may file a claim; those with proof of purchase may receive a full refund for up to three products, while those without proof may receive the average retail price for one.
- Each household is limited to one claim, which consumers can submit online or mail to the class administrator by calling 1-877-315-6779 or writing to P.O. Box 2897, Portland, Oregon, 97208-2897.
- All claims must be submitted online or postmarked by July 6, 2026, ahead of a final approval hearing scheduled for Sept. 10, 2026, in federal court where the judge will determine settlement approval.
