Settlement Summary
The parent company of Zicam, Church & Dwight, has agreed to a $6 million settlement in a class action lawsuit over allegations of misleading advertising. The lawsuit claimed that the advertising for Zicam's products falsely assured consumers that the products could shorten the duration and lessen the severity of common cold symptoms. Despite maintaining that they have reliable scientific support for their advertising claims, including clinical proof that Zicam products statistically outperform a placebo, Church & Dwight opted to resolve the claims with the sizable settlement. Consumers purchasing Zicam-branded products in the US before October 17, 2024, may qualify for a payout from the settlement, further spotlighting the reach and impact of the case.
