Tula Skincare is a popular brand of skincare products that are sold online and in major retailers. The company’s products are marketed as being probiotic-based, which means that they contain live bacteria that are purported to be beneficial for the skin.
Lawsuits
In June 2021, a class action lawsuit was filed against Tula Skincare alleging that the company’s products did not contain live bacteria as advertised. The lawsuit alleged that the company’s products were therefore not probiotic-based and that the company had deceived consumers by making false claims about the benefits of its products.
Allegations
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit alleged that independent laboratory testing of Tula Skincare products found that they did not contain live bacteria. They also alleged that the company’s marketing of its products was misleading, as the company made claims that its products could improve skin health and reduce wrinkles, when in fact there was no scientific evidence to support these claims.
Settlement
In December 2021, Tula Skincare settled the class action lawsuit for $5 million. The company did not admit any wrongdoing, but it agreed to change its marketing practices to make it clear that its products are not probiotic-based.
Additional Lawsuits
In addition to the class action lawsuit, there have been several individual lawsuits filed against Tula Skincare alleging that the company’s products caused skin problems, such as rashes, irritation, and acne. These lawsuits are still ongoing.
Potential Impact of the Lawsuits
The lawsuits could have a significant impact on Tula Skincare, including:
- Financial penalties
- Damage payments to plaintiffs
- Changes to the marketing and labeling of Tula Skincare products
- A decline in sales
