TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo Hair Loss Canadian Class Action

+ - Documents (1)

CONSUMER LAW GROUP has launched a class action lawsuit against Unilever Canada, Unilever U.S., and Alberto-Culver International on behalf of all persons residing in Canada who purchased and/or used TRESemmé Keratin Shampoo Product(s).

It is alleged that the defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to provide adequate warning regarding the serious risks and negative side effects associated with the use of their TRESemmé Keratin Shampoo Products including, but not limited to, significant hair loss, hair breakage, brittle, limp and/or lifeless hair, dermatitis, eczema, blistering, rash, scabbing, peeling, swelling, sore, tender, dry, burning, red, itchy, and/or irritated scalp, and other medical injuries.

The class action claims that the TRESemmé Keratin Shampoo Products contain DMDM hydantoin, a preservative which releases low levels of formaldehyde to extend the shelf-life of the product. This preservative, known as a “formaldehyde donor”, releases an increased amount of formaldehyde when exposed to water. The release levels can also be aggravated by length of storage time and higher temperatures. Preservatives are essential to the safe distribution of cosmetic products, but many alternatives to DMDM hydantoin exist. These alternatives are much safer, have less side-effects, and do not release formaldehyde.
