January 2017: A federal judge granted final approval of the settlement. (Leiner et al v. Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc., Case No. 15-cv-5876, N. D. IL.)

August 2016: After an amended complaint was filed in the Leiner case, a settlement (which will resolve the Leiner, Real, Hidalgo, and Gallagher actions) was preliminarily approved. According to the settlement terms, class members may receive $3 for each product purchased. Class members without proof of purchase may recover for up to five products while class members with proof of purchase may recover for up to ten products purchased. In addition, Johnson and Johnson agreed to continue including language referencing a baby’s routine (e.g., “routine helps baby fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer”) near any clinically proven language. A final fairness hearing is scheduled for January 18, 2017.

July 2015: Four class-action lawsuits were filed against Johnson & Johnson for allegedly falsely marketing its bedtime products. The complaints allege that the company deceptively markets Johnson’s® Bedtime® Bath and Johnson’s® Bedtime® Lotion as “clinically proven” to help a baby sleep better without having any studies to support such claims.
