Welcome to the Website for Prescott v Reckitt Benckiser Settlement

If you purchased Woolite laundry detergent in California, New York, or Massachusetts with “Color Renew” and/or “revives colors” on the label, you may be eligible to receive a cash payment from a class action settlement.

A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Reckitt Benckiser LLC (“Reckitt” or “Defendant”).

Plaintiffs allege that Reckitt misrepresented that its Woolite Gentle Cycle and Woolite Darks laundry detergents renewed and/or revived the color in clothing. Reckitt contends that the detergents contained technology to renew and revive color in clothing and that the detergents did so. The Court has not made any determination about who is right.

You are a member of a “Settlement Class” if you are any one of the following:

  • California Class: All residents of California who purchased Woolite laundry detergent with a label bearing the phrases “Color Renew” and/or “revives colors” from February 1, 2017 to May 1, 2023.
  • New York Class: All residents of New York who purchased Woolite laundry detergent with a label bearing the phrases “Color Renew” and/or “revives colors” from February 22, 2018 to May 1, 2023.
  • Massachusetts Class: All residents of Massachusetts who purchased Woolite laundry detergent with a label bearing the phrases “Color Renew” and/or “revives colors” from February 22, 2017 to May 1, 2023.
  • Woolite Delicates is not part of this settlement.

The Settlement will provide cash payments from a Settlement Fund to members of the Settlement Class who submit a timely, valid, and approved Claim Form. If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you will need to file a Claim Form by the deadline to receive a cash payment. The amount of the cash payments will depend on the number of valid Claim Forms filed.
