You might be eligible to participate in an investigation regarding the use of fluoride toothpaste by very young children. This investigation is focused on popular children’s toothpaste and mouthwash brands, including Colgate, Crest, Tom’s, and others.
The concern is that fluoride products might have been used inappropriately by children aged 3 years or younger. This age group may be more prone to swallowing toothpaste and might not follow usage instructions, potentially leading to excessive fluoride exposure, which can pose health risks.
While fluoride toothpaste is generally beneficial for preventing cavities, its use in very young children needs to be managed carefully to avoid potential health risks.
How Do I Qualify?
To qualify for the investigation, your child must be 6 years old or younger and reside in one of the following states:
Illinois
New York
California
You may be asked to answer some questions to determine if you qualify as a potential representative for the class action. These questions may include:
Did your child use any of the following fluoride toothpastes or mouthwashes?
Was your child 3 years old or younger at the time?
Did your dentist provide guidance on the amount of toothpaste or mouthwash to use?
Did your child attempt to swallow the toothpaste or mouthwash?
How long did your child use the fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash?
How much toothpaste did you apply to your child’s toothbrush (e.g., full strip, half strip, quarter strip)?
Do I Need Proof to Qualify?
