Target Corp.'s ‘Clean’ Marketing Challenged In Consumer Class Action

The mega-retailer is defending a proposed class action in Minnesota federal court over its ‘Target Clean’ marketing and label, which it has awarded "independently" to around 4,000 products in its stores. Consumer plaintiffs allege some offerings contain ingredients on the program's “formulated without” list, as well as other hazardous substances that ought not be in clean products. Pending litigation against Sephora stands to be influential.
