Right Guard Class Action Settlement, Claim $7.50 with No Receipts!
If you purchased Right Guard products that are at risk of containing benzene, then you may be entitled to compensation. You can claim up to $7.50 without receipts, or more if you have proof of purchase.
Right Guard is a popular brand that makes antiperspirant and deodorant. The spray products are the ones involved in this lawsuit because they contain a harmful chemical. There’s been a lot about benzene in the news lately. If you recall (no pun intended), multiple hairspray, dry shampoo, sunscreen, and other spray-type products were recalled last year and you could request coupons to replace them. We posted about the benzene recalls here. Additionally, this settlement comes after several other manufacturer settlements for allegedly having benzene in their products.
I would guess there will be many more lawsuits of this nature in the future.
The settlement is known as Case No. 3:22-cv-00164, United States District Court, District of Connecticut.

What is a class action lawsuit settlement?
For example, a class action lawsuit is one with multiple plaintiffs. In other words, there are more than one person being represented by the lawsuit. In other words, a plaintiff or plaintiffs file the case on behalf of many people who were affected by aren’t involved in the actual suit. For example, if you purchased an item that was later determined to be involved in a class action lawsuit, you may be entitled to compensation. If you’re included in the class or group of people affected, then you can file a claim to receive money, coupons or replacement products. But, each case is different, and each will specify who is included. In addition, class action lawsuits may require proof that you are part of the group of affected people. In this case, proof of purchase or other specified proof is needed. However, in some cases, no proof is required. In that case, you can file a claim without proving that you are part of the class of people affected. Of course, when you file a claim you are doing so under penalty of perjury. So, do not file if you do not qualify.
