Details: The Crayola Washable Colored Bubbles settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, entitled Alyson Herfert v. Crayola LLC, that alleges Crayola falsely advertised that the marks left behind by the colored bubbles would be “temporary and washable.” According to the Crayola Washable Colored Bubbles class action lawsuit, the labeling and advertising of the bubbles as “washable” simply isn’t true, and the bubbles causing staining to personal property. Crayola denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to provide refunds and vouchers to consumers who purchased Crayola Washable Colored Bubbles in 2011, as well as pay for damages caused to clothing and property.

As a result of the Crayola bubble class action settlement, Crayola has discontinued production of 2011 Washable Colored Bubbles and introduced 2012 Colored Bubbles with revised formulas and relabeled packaging that does not describe the bubbles as “washable.”

The class action settlement does not include the reformulated 2012 Colored Bubbles currently in distribution.

Class Members of the 2011 Crayola Washable Colored Bubbles settlement include all U.S. consumers who purchased or acquired (including by gift) 2011 Washable Colored Bubbles, through the date of Final Settlement Approval. This includes the following products:

– individual bottles of bubble solution [SKU numbers: 03-7500, 03-7502, 03-7548, 03-7500-0-451, 03-7500-0-441, 03-7500-0-431, 03-7500-0-421, and 03-7500-0-411];
– the “Washable Colored Bubbles Bubble Launcher” [SKU number 03-7300];
– the “Washable Colored Bubbles Wand Set” [SKU number 03-7400];
– the “Washable Colored Bubbles” three-pack [SKU number 03-7503];
– and the “Washable Colored Bubbles Play Pack” [SKU numbers: 03-7601 and 03-7602].

All of these products were distributed at retail in 2011.

Under the terms of the proposed Crayola Washable Colored Bubbles class action settlement, Class Members will receive monetary or voucher benefits depending on the following conditions:

(1) Cash Compensation for Purchase Costs: Class Members with proof of purchase or a UPC will receive their choice of: (i) the cash value of the 2011 Washable Colored Bubbles product(s) (plus any shipping, handling and tax if applicable) in the form of a check; or (ii) Crayola vouchers for the value of the 2011 Washable Colored Bubbles product(s) purchased (plus shipping, handling and tax if applicable), plus $5.00 in vouchers. Compensation or vouchers will not be given to more than one person for the same product. Class Members with no proof of purchase may receive the value of the 2011 Washable Colored Bubbles product(s) purchased in the form of Crayola vouchers not to exceed $12.00.

(2) Cash Compensation for Out-of-Pocket Costs to Clean Stains: For out-of-pocket costs for cleaning supplies or services to remediate stains caused by 2011 Washable Colored Bubbles, Crayola will provide the cash value of such costs provided that: (i) the Class Member has a receipt or other reliable documentation for a 2011 Washable Colored Bubble product; (ii) the Class Member attests that the stain resulted from the 2011 Washable Colored Bubble product; and (iii) the Class Member provides a receipt or other reliable documentation showing out-of-pocket cost for the cleaning supplies or services.

    Just called to file, last minute I know but no info, no way to leavemessage, apparently no resolution. If today is the deadline, they should have people there to help until the end of the day unless otherwise stated in the guidelines.

    Called them and said I received the 3 pack as a gift for my child’s birthday, they asked if I still had the product or receipt and I said no. The person was very nice and explained I can get a voucher for $12 or 3 $4 vouchers for crayola products, I don’t think it’s cash refund but voucher is good towards any crayola product. Could still use it towards x-mas gift.

    I have called, and explained what I had and what the product did, I still have the tee shirt with blue stains ruined and still have some red on my out door furniture, I have the gun launcher, don’t work now, and barely make out the i.d on the bottom, NO i do not have the receipt it was last year when I purchased this product, I also told her that I have purchased the 3pk of colors and even told them the colors, since I don’t have a yr old receipt I can only get 12. so it’s a waste of time, and they didn’t care about the tee shirt damage, or the cost of any cleaning supply. This one is bogus.. Dont buy crayola anymore..
