April 2020: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Neutrogena Corp. for allegedly misleadingly marketing Neutrogena Cleansing Towelettes as allergen free, gentle, and tested by ophthalmologists and dermatologists when, according to plaintiffs, the towelettes cause several adverse reactions, including skin irritation, rashes, burns, and allergic reactions. Plaintiffs also claim that the marketing fails to adequately warn consumers about the possibility of adverse reactions from using the towelettes. (Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in June 2020.)
