Colgate-Palmolive is among the defendants in six new lawsuits filed on January 14, 2025, targeting the sale of toothpaste and mouth rinse products for young children. The lawsuits allege that these products contain fluoride, which can be harmful if swallowed by young children.
These legal actions highlight potential product safety concerns within the oral care segment, a core category for Colgate-Palmolive. The outcome of such lawsuits could impact product formulations, marketing practices, and potentially lead to financial liabilities for the company.
The company will need to address these claims as they progress through the legal system. The development introduces a new element of legal risk for Colgate-Palmolive in its key oral care business.
