How to get your share of Tom’s of Maine class-action settlement
Summary
A class-action settlement has been proposed for consumers who purchased Tom’s of Maine toothpaste products between November 21, 2020, and March 6, 2026. The lawsuit alleged deceptive business practices regarding the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of these products, though Tom’s of Maine (a subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive) denies any wrongdoing and settled to avoid litigation costs. Consumers can file a claim for a share of the settlement until July 6th, either online or by mail.
Claimants without proof of purchase may receive compensation based on the average retail price per product, while those with proof of purchase may receive a full refund for up to three products. Payments are contingent on final court approval and the resolution of any appeals, and may be reduced if total claims exceed available funds.
Those wishing to opt out of the settlement and pursue individual legal action must submit a request for exclusion by July 6th. A final approval hearing is scheduled for September 10th to determine the settlement’s approval and address any objections.
