Colgate-Palmolive CompanyClass-action settlement over deceptive marketing allegations, though company denies wrongdoing.

Today is the last day to file a claim in a class-action settlement involving Tom's of Maine toothpaste. Consumers who purchased one or more Tom's of Maine toothpaste products in the United States between November 21, 2020, and March 6, 2026, may be eligible for a cash payout. The settlement resolves a lawsuit accusing the company, a subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive, of deceptive marketing practices, though the company denies wrongdoing. Claimants without proof of purchase may receive the average manufacturer's suggested retail price for one product per household, while those with proof can get a full refund for up to three products. A final approval hearing is scheduled for September 10, and payments will be distributed after court approval and any appeals.
