In July 2015, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Procter & Gamble for, among other things, allegedly deceptively marketing Tide Pods laundry detergent as a detergent, stain remover, and brightener without adequately disclosing that the pods cause permanent blue/purple stains on white and light colored laundry. (Guariglia et al v. The Procter & Gamble Company and The Procter & Gamble Distributing LLC, Case No. 15-cv-4307, E. D. NY.)
