Hain Celestial To Pay $7.5M Under Proposed 'Organic' Class-Action Settlement

Proposed settlement between Hain and plaintiffs across two related suits will provide refunds to consumers who purchased products in California from the firm's Avalon Organics and JASON personal-care lines before it brought its formulations and labeling claims into compliance with the state's Organic Products Act. It does not cover a separate suit against Hain for alleged misleading "natural" JASON claims.
