Batiste dry shampoo lawsuit: How to claim settlement money, form, and other details explored

Church & Dwight's co-owned Batiste dry shampoo brand has agreed to resolve a $2.5 million class action lawsuit this week. The lawsuit that was filed in November 2022 alleged that the Batiste-branded dry shampoo contained unsafe levels of a human carcinogen - Benzene.

The compensation is available to all members who may have purchased the Batiste Bare dry shampoo and other similar products on or before May 30, 2023.
