June 2014: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Neutrogena Corp. for allegedly deceptively labeling its Neutrogena Body Mist and Neutrogena Beach Defense sunscreens as providing “water resistant” or “water + sun barrier” protection when, in reality, they do not work as advertised and fail to meet water resistance standards. In addition, plaintiffs claim that the company deceptively labels Neutrogena High SPF Sunscreens as providing superior sun protection than lower SPF sunscreens when, in reality, scientific evidence shows that sunscreens with SPF values higher than 50 provide no additional benefit to consumers. (Dapeer et al v. Neutrogena Corp., Case No. 14-cv-22113, S. D. FL.).
