We can all breathe a sigh of relief and start using EOS lip balms once again. The legal drama between EOS and Rachael Cronin has finally come to an end. After careful deliberation, EOS Products has settled the federal class action lawsuit filed against them for selling unsafe products.
In its settlement, the company agreed to be more informative with its products by printing more of these information on its labels and to address individual claims better. On behalf of his client, Attorney Mark Geragos promised that he will be filing a motion to dismiss the complaint; especially since they have come to an agreement with the company.
Back in Jan. 12, Cronin sued the New York-based company for causing her lips to have blisters, bleed, crack, and have rashes. She posted photos of her lips on social media and stated that EOS had been falsely claiming their lip balms were organic as they were found to contain ingredients that the FDA considered to be major allergens. These ingredients include sodium hyaluronate, tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate, and butyrospermum parkii.On her lawsuit, she claimed that the company concealed the side effects that could result from using the product by not printing them on the packaging of the lip balms.
On Jan. 28, corporate adviser Teneo Strategy sent an email in behalf of EOS saying that their products were all safe. To confirm that, the settlement has been made by the company. EOS assures its public that their products are all hypoallergenic, made with the highest quality ingredients, and have been tested by a dermatologist. They assure customers that their lip balms meet or exceed the safety and quality standards that have been set by the industry. All these have been validated through an independent lab with a rigorous safety training procedure.
