Sparking water lovers can take a big exhale: the class action lawsuit against the makers of LaCroix, National Beverage from Oct. 2018 has been completely retracted with prejudice. The original lawsuit claimed that the “all natural” beverage has several artificial ingredients.

This week, National Beverage Corp. announced that the original lawsuit has been dismissed and all allegations including statements that challenged the labeling practices of LaCroix have been retracted. So what happened?

The initial lawsuit alleged that LaCroix products contained linalool—an ingredient also found in cockroach insecticide but is also a common food additive and component of essential oils found in many spices. The plaintiff, Lenora Rice has since recanted her statements in a new press release issued by team of lawyers.

Rice and her law firm withdrew and retracted all her claims, while admitting that the testing of LaCroix by her laboratory had no findings that the beverage contained any artificial ingredients.

A company spokesperson has responded, stating “This dismissal confirms our promise to demonstrate that these allegations had absolutely no merit and reaffirms that the Company delivers a pure and innocent product. This is a vindication of National Beverage and confirms the assurances we gave to our loyal following of LaCroix consumers, our customers and our shareholders that this lawsuit was baseless.”

If you’re like many parents who’ve bought Johnson & Johnson Bedtime products in hopes your baby will sleep better, you may be awarded some money. Johnson & Johnson have agreed to pay $5 million to settle four class-action lawsuits that the company falsely advertised its baby bedtime products as “clinically proven” to help babies sleep better.

Photo: Top Class Action Lawsuits

The lawsuit alleges that Johnson & Johnson knew that there were no clinical studies that proved the products actually helped babies to sleep better, therefore having no basis to make that claim.

Parents state they paid more for the Bedtime products over other soaps and lotions based on the marketing claims. Parents who acted as plaintiffs in the suit say they used the “bedtime” products as directed by Johnson & Johnson, yet the items did not help their babies sleep better.

If you’ve bought one or more of the following Johnson & Johnson “bedtime” products within the United States or any U.S. territories between July 1, 2010 and August 31, 2016, you may be entitled to receive $3 per product– up to 10 products with no proof of purchase:

  • JOHNSON’S® BEDTIME® Baby Bath
  • JOHNSON’S® BEDTIME® Baby Lotion
  • JOHNSON’S® BEDTIME® Baby Moisture Wash
  • JOHNSON’S® Baby BEDTIME® Washcloths
  • JOHNSON’S®  BEDTIME® Baby Bubble Bath & Wash

If interested, you must file a claim here before Dec. 19, 2016: JOHNSON’S BEDTIME BATH PRODUCTS CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT
