Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle Class Action Lawsuit
By Mike Holter
According to the class action lawsuit, Coty has spent millions of dollars falsely advertising that these nail treatment products will help users’ nails grow at a “guaranteed” rate of “30% in 5 days” or “59% in 14 days,” depending on the product.
“In other words, Defendants claim that the Nailgrowth Miracle Products will overcome age, gender, season, exercise level, diet, and other hereditary factors which are scientifically accepted to control fingernail growth,” the class action lawsuit says. “The relevant, generally accepted science, however, makes it clear that it is anatomically impossible for any product – drug or cosmetic – to permeate the nail plate and deliver any alleged ‘growth’ benefit to the nail when applied topically without the use of aggressive permeation enhancement techniques such as nail abrasion, acid etching or the use of chemical agents.”
The false advertising class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all persons who purchased any Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle product for personal use and not for resale, in the State of California, from June 2008 through the present. It is seeking restitution, damages, punitive damages, and more for alleged fraud, violation of the California Legal Remedies Act, false and misleading advertising, and violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law.
