Degree MotionSense UltraClear Black + White DrySpray
October 2019: This case was transferred from state court to federal court. (Case No. 19-cv-2703, E. D. MO.)
July 2019: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Unilever for allegedly falsely advertising Degree MotionSense UltraClear Black + White DrySpray antiperspirant for women. Specifically, the complaint claims that the company misleadingly represents that the antiperspirant is “anti yellow stains,” “anti white marks,” and does not “compromise on sweat and odor protection” when, according to plaintiffs, the active ingredient (aluminum chlorohydrate) causes white marks and yellow stains and the product is less effective than other Degree products because the active ingredient is diluted. (Been et al v. Conopco, Inc. d/b/a Unilever, Case No. 19SL-CC02857, Missouri State Court – St. Louis County)
