The case is Weingartner, et al. v. Colgate-Palmolive Co., Case No. 3:23-cv-04086, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
What Is This Class Action All About?
Colgate-Palmolive Company falsely advertises that its toothpaste tubes are recyclable, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiffs Roman Weingartner and Kristin Della claim Colgate labels its Colgate and Tom’s of Maine toothpaste tubes with claims they are recyclable, despite the tubes allegedly only being recyclable at a “minuscule” number of recycling facilities.
Weingartner and Della argue “virtually all” municipal recycling programs and materials recovery facilities in California and the U.S. are unable to “effectively distinguish” between the purportedly recyclable tubes and conventional non-recyclable toothpaste tubes.
“Defendant knows that the Products almost invariably end up in landfills or incinerated because recycling facilities do not accept them,” the Colgate class action states.
Weingartner and Della want to represent a nationwide class and a California subclass of all persons who — since Aug. 11, 2019 for the nationwide class — have purchased a Colgate or Tom’s of Maine brand toothpaste product that was labeled as being recyclable.
