Additional Information
In November 2021, a class action lawsuit was filed against Unilever, the parent company of Suave. The lawsuit alleged that certain Suave antiperspirant sprays contained benzene and that Unilever failed to adhere to good manufacturing practices set by the FDA. The lawsuit also claimed that by selling these potentially contaminated products, Unilever violated federal law and the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
Following the lawsuit, Unilever initiated a voluntary recall in March 2022 of two specific Suave antiperspirant sprays:
- Suave 24-Hour Protection Aerosol Antiperspirant Powder (4oz and 6oz)
- Suave 24-Hour Protection Aerosol Antiperspirant Fresh (6oz)
While Unilever maintains they did nothing wrong, they have agreed to a $2 million settlement to resolve the lawsuit.
