Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Will Pay $9.2M To Settle ‘C+Collagen’ Class Action
Bicoastal litigation against DDG alleges that its labeling of “C+Collagen” items misled consumers into believing the products contained collagen. The defendant argued that “vegan” declarations on the products’ labeling and “Collagen Amino Acids” in their ingredient lists provided sufficient clarification, but California and New York federal courts have not been persuaded.
