After a lengthy five-year legal battle, San Francisco Superior Court granted final approval for a $38 million class action settlement to reimburse purchasers of Lash Boost, a product used topically on eyelashes. The eyelash product contains Isopropyl Cloprostenate which is an ingredient associated with health hazards. The settlement also provided for prominent disclosures to alert consumers of potential risks associated with Isopropyl Cloprostenate. Additionally, named plaintiffs received $15,000 incentive awards.
Judge Ethan P. Schulman stated, “I want to commend the parties and counsel for something that is perhaps more complicated and larger than the typical kind of class action settlement that we typically see tendered for approval, at least in State Court, and one to which it’s obvious that very careful attention has been paid and that will result in a real benefit to claimants, and I want to commend you on that”.
