June 2014: Plaintiffs moved to transfer (i. e. move a case to another court) and consolidate (i. e. hear several proceedings together) related lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson. According to the complaints, the company misleadingly markets “Active Naturals” Aveeno products by marketing and labeling the products as “natural” when they actually contain synthetic ingredients. (In Re: Johnson & Johnson Products Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation, MDL No. 2565, U. S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation).
