Chances are, if you have a young child, you’ve purchased this popular baby medicine in the last five years. Johnson & Johnson, maker of Tylenol, has agreed to pay up to $6.4 million to settle a class action lawsuit claiming that it’s Infants’ Tylenol was deceptively labeled as being exclusively formulated for babies.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit claimed that Johnson & Johnson targeted parents of infants by using the word “infant” and including a picture of a mother cradling a baby. Allegedly, this led customers to believe the product was specially formulated for infants but actually contained the same concentration of acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) as children’s Tylenol.
If you bought Johnson & Johnson Infants’ Tylenol between October 3, 2014 and January 6, 2020, you can fill out a claim form to request a partial refund of $2.15 per bottle for up to seven bottles without a proof of purchase. The max you can receive is $15.05, but customers who still have receipts can claim un unlimited number of bottles.
Forms need to be submitted by April 13, 2020 and only one form can be submitted per household. All claims are submitted under penalty of perjury. If you’re not sure if you qualify, head to the Settlement Administrator’s website and read the FAQ section.
