Laundress Class Action: Toxic Bacteria Claims

This class action lawsuit alleges that Unilever's The Laundress brand laundry and cleaning products contain undisclosed toxic bacteria, including Pseudomonas bacteria, which has a 39% mortality rate. The plaintiff claims Unilever failed to disclose this risk and sold defective products that exposed consumers and their households to potential harm. The lawsuit seeks damages for consumers who purchased the products under false pretenses and now face health and economic risks due to contamination of delicate fabrics that cannot be safely disinfected.

Case 1:22-cv-07468 Document 1 Filed 11/24/22 Page 2 of 38

Plaintiff Margaret Murphy (“Plaintiff”) brings this action on behalf of herself,


1
2 and all others similarly situated against Defendant UNILEVER UNITED STATES,

3 INC. (“Unilever” or “Defendant”) for the manufacture, distribution, marketing, and


4
sale of THE LAUNDRESS brand products (the “Product” or “Products”).1 Plaintiff
5
makes the following allegations pursuant to the investigation of their counsel and
6
based upon information and belief, except as to the allegations specifically pertaining
7
8 to themselves, which is based on personal knowledge:

9
NATURE OF ACTION
10
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 1. This is a class action complaint against Defendant for the manufacture,


12
distribution, marketing, and sale of the Products, that based on Defendant’s own
13
admission suffer from identical deceptive conduct concerning the inclusion of deadly
14
15 bacteria. Despite Defendant’s widespread marketing campaign that the Products are

16 non-toxic and present better-for-you alternatives to other cleaners, the Products

17 contain highly toxic, undisclosed ingredients. Specifically, the Products contain


18
undisclosed bacteria that have fatal consequences. Household cleaning products that
19
pose such a hazard are unreasonably dangerous compared to the utility of the
20
21 Products. This deception rendered the Products unsuitable for their principal and

22 intended purpose. Further, had Plaintiff and Class Members been aware of the

23 presence of fatal bacteria, they would not have purchased the Products.
24
2. With the sale of every Product, Defendant delivered a biological weapon
25
into the home of every Class Member.
26
27
1 At the time of this filing, Exhibit A includes the LAUNDRESS products that are
28 included in this definition. This definition is not exhaustive, and shall include all of
Defendant’s products that are similarly misrepresented and defective.

Case 1:22-cv-07468 Document 1 Filed 11/24/22 Page 3 of 38

3. Instead of subtracting bacteria, each Product adds bacteria which can


1
2 multiply within a household because it is – as one Oxford researcher describes – a

3 superbug that is antibiotic resistant.2


4
4. The Products contain a bacterium, Pseudomonas, that has a mortality
5
rate of 39%3 and has caused multiple fatal outbreaks in infant wards at hospitals
6
throughout the country.4
7
8 5. On November 17, 2022, Defendant first revealed that THE

9 LAUNDRESS brand’s entire product line contains harmful, toxic bacteria.


10
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

6. In fact, the toxin has been present in all of the Products for years.
11
7. Unfortunately, the toxin permeated – unknowingly to consumers –
12
13 throughout all of the Products which led (and currently leads) to unneeded physical

14 injury and economic harm.

15 8. Plaintiff and Class Members are further harmed because once silk,
16
cashmere, and wool are contaminated by the bacterium, these garments may be

destroyed because they cannot be exposed to hot water, intense heat, bleach or
1
2 hospital grade disinfectants which are necessary to kill the bacteria.

3 9. In other words, a favorite silk or cashmere garment once owned by a


4
parent or grandparent could be forever ruined simply because a Class Member tried
5
to clean it with a “premium,” “non-toxic” product.
6
10. Because Defendant continues to reap its spoils, and gives the false
7
8 impression that the Products are safe, Defendant exposes this risk to millions of

9 Americans every day while also knowingly selling consumers defective Products that
10
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

expose every Class Members’ household to great harm.


11
11. In fact, once the truth is exposed the Products are, at best, worthless.
12
13 12. Reasonable consumers, like Plaintiff, purchase the Products to subtract
14 bacteria rather than adding harmful, toxic bacteria that can cause “serious
15 infections,” “severe tissue damage,”5 death, “pneumonia or septicaemia.”6
16
17 13. Plaintiff brings claims against Defendant individually and on behalf of a

18 class of all other similarly situated purchasers of the Products for (i) violations of the

19 consumer protection statutes for states included in a Multi-State Consumer Class; (ii)
20
violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law; (iii) violation of California’s False

breach of implied warranty; (vi) violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act; and
1
2 (vii) unjust enrichment.

3
PARTIES
4 14. Plaintiff is, and at all times relevant to this action has been, a resident
5
of California and a domiciliary of California.
6
7 a. Within the past two years, Plaintiff made several purchases of

8 Defendant’s Products from e-commerce stores, including but not limited to

9 FabFitFun, that shipped products to her residence in California. The Products

10 purchased by Plaintiff included, but not limited to, the Delicate Wash, the Crease
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 Relief spray, and the Signature Detergent. Prior to purchasing THE LAUNDRESS

12 Products, Plaintiff saw and relied on the representation and warranty that the

13 product would be a “non-toxic” and “better for you” alternatives to other cleaning

14 methods like dry cleaning. Plaintiff understood these representations to mean that

15 the Products did not contain harsh, harmful, or toxic ingredients. At the time of

16 purchase, Plaintiff did not expect that the cleaning supplies purchased would contain

17 a bacterium with deadly consequences. Plaintiff purchased the Products at a

18 substantial price premium, and would not have purchased the products had she

19 known that the marketing she relied on was false, misleading, deceptive and unfair

20 or that the Products contained potentially deadly bacteria. Plaintiff would purchase

21 the Products again in the future if Defendant conformed the Products to their “non-

22 toxic” marketing.

23 b. Plaintiff purchased the Products because she believed they were

24 fit for use as non-toxic cleaners and safe to be used on delicate clothing in lieu of

25 having to dry clean expensive clothing. However, the Products that Plaintiff

26 purchased were not fit for use due to the presence of toxic bacteria in the Products.

27 Ms. Murphy’s belief that the Products were fit to be used as non-toxic cleaning

28

Case 1:22-cv-07468 Document 1 Filed 11/24/22 Page 6 of 38

1 products formed the basis of the bargain, and Ms. Murphy would not have purchased
2 the Products.
3 c. The Products that Plaintiff purchased and used caused Plaintiff
4 and members of her household to suffer from respiratory infections, skin infections,
5 rashes, and hives.
6 d. Plaintiff suffered economic injury from the Products’ defect
7 because she purchased an item that was worth less than what had been represented
8 to her.
15. Defendant is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business
9
10 in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Defendant sells the Products throughout the United
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 States, including in the state of California.


12
16. Defendant is part of the Unilever Group, an international consumer
13
goods company that is comprised of two parent companies, Unilever N.V. in
14
Rotterdam, Netherlands and Unilever PLC in London, United Kingdom. The
15
16 Unilever Group operates in the United States under its subsidiary, Unilever United

17 States, Inc., which operates as a single economic entity.


18
19
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
20
21 17. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to
22 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d) because there are more than 100 class members and the
23 aggregate amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000, exclusive of interest, fees, and
24 costs, and at least one Class member is a citizen of a state different from Defendant.
25 18. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant. Defendant
26 purposefully avails itself of the California consumer market and distributes the
27 Products to many locations within this District and hundreds of retail locations
28

1 throughout the State of California, where the Products are purchased by thousands of
2 consumers every day.
3 19. Venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(a). Plaintiff’s
4 purchases of Defendant’s Products, substantial acts in furtherance of the alleged
5 improper conduct, including the dissemination of false and misleading information
6 regarding the nature, quality, and/or ingredients of the Products, occurred within this
7 District and the Defendant conducts business in this District.

CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
Case 1:22-cv-07468 Document 1 Filed 11/24/22 Page 9 of 38

1 27. For example, Defendant routinely positions its Products as a toxic-free,


2 better-for-you alternative to dry cleaning:
1. “Dry clean only? No way. You've got this, and we can help.
3 Nobody relishes the idea of wearing highly toxic dry cleaning
chemicals against their skin along with their most delicate
4 clothing items. Now there's a solution that is better for both
you and the environment, all without ruining your treasured
5 delicates. Washing delicates is easier than ever with Delicate
Wash from The Laundress. It smells divine and easily removes
6 odors while cleaning and preserving delicate fabrics. Visit our
Clean Talk Blog for instructions on how to wash specific delicate
7 items.”10
8 2. “Of course, your delicates are not usually the items to wear once
and toss in the laundry. If you want to stay fresh between
9 washing delicate items, try our non-toxic, biodegradable, and
delightfully fragrant Delicate Spray. It's perfect for silks, knits,
10 and undergarments. So keep that favorite silk Hermes scarf in the
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

rotation a bit longer before your next hand-washing adventure.


11 This fabric spray makes a great gift, too. You can even use it to
freshen bed linens, pillows, and furniture around the house.
12 Herbal and citrus notes combine with amber, bergamot, lavender,
and musk to make everyone's nose a little happier.”11
13
3. “Eliminating the dry cleaner was one of our first missions in
14 creating this line of laundry and fabric care products. And lucky
for you, we've accomplished our goal. Use this kit to safely clean
15 and preserve woolens, delicates, synthetics, and more without
the toxins and extra cost of the dry cleaner!”12
16
4. “Ideal for travel or stashing in your bag or car, this handy kit
17 washes, freshens, and removes stains on silk, delicates, woolens,
synthetics and more without the toxins and extra cost of the dry
18 cleaner. Airplane-friendly and comes housed in a canvas zip
bag.”13

1 29. For example, in a video entitled “Why You Should Rethink Dry
2 Cleaning” on the brand’s official website, co-founder Lindsey Boyd describes the toxic
3 chemicals that occur in dry cleaning and why THE LAUNDRESS is a “better for you”
4 alternative. She describes the Products as “non-toxic” and containing “the best
5 ingredients.”14
6 30. Defendant markets the Products through social media and uses
7 hashtags like #greencleaning, #plantderived, and #ecoconscious to further the
8 message that its Products are non-toxic, “good for you,” and offer an environmentally-

11 with fatal consequences.


12
13 C. The Product Contains Harmful, Toxic Ingredients That Were Not

14
35. The Products contain toxic ingredients that were not disclosed on the

Products’ packaging nor in any other medium by Defendant prior to purchase by
16
Plaintiff and the Class.
17
36. The Products contain harmful bacteria, including Pseudomonas.
18
37. Pseudomonas is a “superbug” because, as Dr. Craig MacLean from the
19
University of Oxford describes, it “mutates at an incredibly high rate, allowing [the]
20
bacteria to quickly evolve antibiotic resistance.”15
21
38. Pseudomonas “frequently cause[] serious infections” and can “cause
22
severe tissue damage.”16

1 40. Exposure to the bacteria can be fatal, and in 2016 it caused a deadly
2 outbreak that killed multiple infants at a Maryland hospital.18
3 41. In 2019, an outbreak of the bacteria at a Pennsylvania hospital also took
4 the lives of multiple infants.19
5 42. Pseudomonas can kill people “within 24 hours” of exposure.20
6 43. In one study of Pseudomonas, the bacteria displayed a 30-day mortality
7 rate of 39%.21
8 44. Defendant has, or should have, knowledge of the contents of the
9 Products that it sends into homes throughout the country.
10 45. The presence of toxins was not known by Plaintiff or Class Members
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 prior to purchase.
12 46. The presence of harmful bacteria was a material element in Plaintiff’s
13 and Class Members’ decision to purchase the Products. Prior to purchase, Defendant
14 failed to inform Plaintiff and Class Members that the Products contained a bacterium
15 with fatal consequences. Only recently in November 2022, and after Class Members
16 purchased the Products, Defendant first revealed the presence of the bacteria in the
17 Products.
18 47. Had Plaintiff and Class Members known of the inclusion of the
19 undisclosed bacteria, they would not have purchased the Products.
20 48. Thus, the Products are worthless.

D. The Products Harm People.


1
2 49. As described above, the Products present a great danger to the public.

3 50. The Products have harmed people and continue to pose a threat to the
4
public.
5
6 51. The Products that Plaintiff purchased and used caused Plaintiff and

7 members of her household to suffer from respiratory infections, skin infections,

8 rashes, and hives.

9 52. With the resiliency of the “superbug,” long-term consequences are

10 unknown but expected given the long timeline that the bacterium colonizes.

13 toxins removes all utility from the Products.


14
E. Defendant’s Exclusive Pre-Sale Knowledge of the Toxins
15
55. Defendant had exclusive knowledge of the Products’ contents prior to
16
sale to consumers.
17
56. Plaintiff and Class Members were unable to test or observe the

ingredients in the Products prior to purchase.
19

bacteria that can have fatal consequences.

25
Defendant’s deceptive and misleading representations and omissions concerning the

Products.
27
60. Defendant's false, misleading, and deceptive misrepresentations and
28
omissions are likely to continue to deceive and mislead reasonable consumers and the

Case 1:22-cv-07468 Document 1 Filed 11/24/22 Page 15 of 38

1 general public, as they have already deceived and misled Plaintiff and the Class
2 Members.
3 61. In making the false, misleading, and deceptive representations and
4 omissions described herein, Defendant knew and intended that consumers would pay
5 a premium for Products under the – false – belief that the Products were safe and
6 free of toxins.
7 62. As an immediate, direct, and proximate result of Defendant's false,
8 misleading, and deceptive representations and omissions, Defendant injured the
9 Plaintiff and the Class Members in that they:
10 a. Paid a sum of money for Products that were not what Defendant
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 represented;
12 b. Paid a premium price for Products that were not what Defendant
13 represented;
14 c. Were deprived of the benefit of the bargain because the Products they
15 purchased were different from what Defendant warranted; and
16 d. Were deprived of the benefit of the bargain because the Products they
17 purchased had less value than what Defendant represented.
18 63. Plaintiff and Class Members were additionally harmed by damage to
19 clothing, washing machines, and other property from exposure to the undisclosed
20 bacteria as well as the countless hours to attempt to clean the contaminated clothing.

2 64. The scope of the damage to clothing is intensified because of the
3 bacterium’s long colonization period and its durability. Some Class Members have
4 washed thousands of garments with the Products.
5 65. Many garments can only be washed with cold water and can only be
6 hung to dry without the use of heat. For many, these garments are ruined because
7 the bacteria cannot be removed.

9 that "[c]ertain delicate natural fibers such as silk, cashmere and wool are particularly
10 sensitive to laundering methods, and cannot be exposed to harsh routines that
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 include hot water and high spin."22


12 67. In other words, many garments made from silk, cashmere, and wool that
13 are contaminated by the bacterium may never be remedied because hot water cannot
14 be used on these fabrics.
15 68. Had Defendant not made the false, misleading, and deceptive
16 representations and omissions, Plaintiff and the Class Members would not have been
17 willing to pay the same amount for the Products they purchased, and, consequently,
18 Plaintiff and the Class Members would not have been willing to purchase the
19 Products.
20 69. Plaintiff and the Class Members paid for Products that were believed to
21 be safe and free of the Defect but received Products that were unsafe and contained
22 toxins. The products Plaintiff and the Class Members received were worth less than
23 the Products for which they paid.
24 70. Plaintiff and Class Members paid a premium for the Products because
25 they relied on Defendant’s marketing that the Products were non-toxic.

11
71. Plaintiff and the Class Members all paid money for the Products.
12
However, Plaintiff and the Class Members did not obtain the full value of the
13
advertised Products due to Defendant's misrepresentations and omissions. Plaintiff
14
and the Class Members purchased, purchased more of, and/or paid more for, the
15
Products than they would have had they known the truth about the Products.
16
Consequently, Plaintiff and the Class Members have suffered injury in fact and lost
17
money as a result of Defendant's wrongful conduct.

CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS
20 72. Plaintiff brings this action as a class action pursuant to Federal Rule of
21
Civil Procedure 23 on behalf of themselves, on behalf of all others similarly situated,
22
and as a member of the Classes defined as follows (collectively, the “Classes” or
23
24 “Class”):

25 a. Multi-State Consumer Class: All persons in the States of California,


26 Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey,

New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Washington who purchased


1
2 the Products.23

3 b. California Class: All persons who purchased Defendant’s Product


4
within the State of California and within the applicable statute of
5
limitations.
6
c. Nationwide Class: All persons who purchased Defendant’s Product
7
8 within the United States and within the applicable statute of

9 limitations period.
10
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

73. Excluded from the Class are Defendant, their parents, subsidiaries,
11
affiliates, officers, and directors, those who purchased the Products for resale, all
12
13 persons who make a timely election to be excluded from the Class, the judge to whom

14 the case is assigned and any immediate family members thereof.

15 74. The members of the Class are so numerous that joinder of all Class
16
Members is impracticable. Defendant has sold, at a minimum, millions of units of the
17
Products to Class Members.
18
19 75. There is a well-defined community of interest in the questions of law and

20 fact involved in this case. Questions of law and fact common to the members of the

21 putative classes that predominate over questions that may affect individual Class
22
Members include, but are not limited to the following:
23
24
25 23The States in the Multi-State Consumer Class are limited to those States with similar
consumer protection laws under the facts of this case: California (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §
26 17200, et seq.); Florida (Fla. Stat. § 501.201, et seq.); Illinois (815 ILCS 505/1, et seq.);
Massachusetts (Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 93A, et seq.); Michigan (Mich. Comp. Laws §
27 445.901, et seq.); Minnesota (Minn. Stat. § 325F.67, et seq.); Missouri (Mo. Rev. Stat.
407.010, et seq.); New Jersey (N.J. Stat. § 56:8-1, et seq.); New York (N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law
28 § 349, et seq.); Pennsylvania (73 Pa. Stat. Ann. §§ 201-1 et seq.); Oregon (Or. Rev. Stat.
§§ 646.605, et seq.); and Washington (Wash Rev. Code § 19.86.010, et seq).

CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
Case 1:22-cv-07468 Document 1 Filed 11/24/22 Page 19 of 38

a. whether Defendant misrepresented material facts concerning the


1
2 Products on the label of every product;

3 b. whether Defendant’s conduct was unfair, misleading, and/or


4
deceptive;
5
c. whether Defendant has been unjustly enriched as a result of the
6
unlawful, fraudulent, and unfair conduct alleged in this
7
8 Complaint such that it would be inequitable for Defendant to

9 retain the benefits conferred upon it by Plaintiff and the Classes;


10
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

d. whether Plaintiff and the Classes are entitled to equitable and/or


11
injunctive relief;
12
13 e. whether Defendant breached warranties to Plaintiff and the

14 Classes;

15 f. whether Plaintiff and the Classes have sustained damages with


16
respect to the common-law claims asserted, and if so, the proper
17
measure of their damages.
18
19 76. Plaintiff’s claims are typical of those of other Class Members because

20 Plaintiff, like all members of the Classes, purchased Defendant’s Products containing

21 the same Defect, and suffering from the same representations and omissions, and
22
Plaintiff sustained damages from Defendant’s wrongful conduct.
23
77. Plaintiff will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the classes
24
25 and have retained counsel that is experienced in litigating complex class actions.

26 Plaintiff has no interests which conflict with those of the Classes.

27 78. A class action is superior to any other available means for the fair and
28
efficient adjudication of this controversy, and no unusual difficulties are likely to be
– 18 –
CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
Case 1:22-cv-07468 Document 1 Filed 11/24/22 Page 20 of 38

encountered in the management of this class action. The damages or other financial
1
2 detriment suffered by Plaintiff and the other Class Members are relatively small

3 compared to the burden and expense that would be required to individually litigate
4
their claims against Defendant, making it impracticable for Class Members to
5
individually seek redress for Defendant’s wrongful conduct. Even if Class Members
6
could afford individual litigation, the court system could not. Individualized litigation
7
8 creates a potential for inconsistent or contradictory judgments, and increases the

9 delay and expense to all parties and the court system. By contrast, the class action
10
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

device presents far fewer management difficulties, and provides the benefits of single
11
adjudication, economies of scale, and comprehensive supervision by a single court.
12
13 79. The prerequisites to maintaining a class action for equitable relief are

14 met as Defendant has acted or refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the

15 classes, thereby making appropriate equitable relief with respect to the classes as a
16
whole.
17
80. The prosecution of separate actions by members of the classes would
18
19 create a risk of establishing inconsistent rulings and/or incompatible standards of

20 conduct for Defendant. For example, one court might enjoin Defendant from

21 performing the challenged acts, whereas another might not. Additionally, individual
22
actions could be dispositive of the interests of the classes even where certain Class
23
Members are not parties to such actions.
24
25 81. For the purposes of this Complaint, the term “Class Members” refers to

26 all members of the Class, including the Plaintiff.

27 82. This action is maintainable as a class action under Federal Rule of Civil
28
Procedure Rule 23.

83. This Court should certify a class under Rule 23(b)(2) because Defendant
1
2 has acted or refused to act on grounds that apply generally to the Class, by making

3 illegal, unfair, misleading and deceptive representations and omissions regarding


4
Products.
5
84. This Court should certify a class under Rule 23(b)(3) because the
6
common issues identified above predominate over any questions affecting individual
7
8 members and a class is superior to other available methods to fairly and efficiently

9 adjudicate the claims.

Violation of State Consumer Protection Statutes
16 (On Behalf of the Multi-State Consumer Class)
17
86. Plaintiff repeats and realleges each and every allegation above as if set
18
forth herein.
19
87. The Consumer Protection Acts of the States in the Multi-State
20
Consumer Class prohibit the use of unfair or deceptive business practices in the
21
conduct of trade or commerce.
22
88. Defendant intended that Plaintiff and the other members of the Multi-
23
State Consumer Class would rely upon their deceptive conduct, and a reasonable
24
person would in fact be misled by its deceptive conduct.
25
89. As a result of the Defendant’s use or employment of unfair or deceptive
26
acts or business practices, Plaintiff, and other members of the Multi-State Consumer
27
Class, have sustained damages in an amount to be proven at trial.

6
91. The acts, omissions, misrepresentations and practices of Defendant
7
constitute “unlawful” business acts and practices under the California Business &
8
Professions Code section 17200 (“UCL”).
9
92. Defendant’s acts, omissions, misrepresentations and practices are
10
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

“unlawful” because they violate the California False Advertising Law (“FAL”), the
11
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (“MMWA”) and the Consumer Legal Remedies Act
12
(“CLRA”).
13
93. Defendant’s representations and omissions that the Products are non-
14
toxic and safe are false, deceptive, and likely to deceive the public.
15
94. Defendant’s representations and omissions concerning the ingredients in
16
the Products is false, deceptive, and likely to deceive the public.
17
95. Defendant’s deceptive advertising caused Plaintiff and members of the

Class to suffer injury in fact and to lose money or property, as it denied them the
19
benefit of the bargain when they decided to make their purchases over other products
20
that are less expensive and without the harmful and dangerous effects of the
21
Products.
22
96. In accordance with California Business & Professions Code section
23
17203, Plaintiff seeks an order enjoining Defendant from continuing to conduct
24
business through unfair acts and practices and to commence a corrective advertising
25
campaign.
26

8 unfair or fraudulent business act or practice.
9 100. The false and misleading marketing, advertising, and labeling of the
10 Products, as alleged herein, constitute unfair business acts and practices because
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 such conduct is immoral, unscrupulous, and offends public policy.


12 101. The acts, omissions, misrepresentations, practices, and non-disclosures
13 constitute “fraudulent” business acts and practices, because Defendant’s conduct is
14 false and misleading to Plaintiff and Class Members.
15 102. Further, the gravity of Defendant’s conduct outweighs any conceivable

3 115. This claim seeks injunctive relief only, pursuant to California Civil Code
4 section 1782(d).

15 124. Plaintiff and the California Class members request that this Court
16 enjoin Defendant from continuing to employ the unlawful methods, acts, and

1 127. Defendant, as the manufacturer, marketer, distributor, and/or seller of


2 the Products, impliedly warranted that the Products (i) would not contain toxins and
3 (ii) was generally safe for consumer use.
4 128. Defendant breached the warranty implied in the contract for the sale of
5 the defective Products because it could not pass without objection in the trade under
6 the contract description, the Products were not of fair or average quality within the
7 description, and the Products were unfit for its intended and ordinary purpose
8 because the Products were defective in that it contained ingredients that made the
9 Products unreasonably dangerous, and as such is not generally recognized as safe for
10 consumer use. As a result, Plaintiff and Class Members did not receive the goods as
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 impliedly warranted by Defendant to be merchantable.


12 129. Defendant was on notice of the presence of toxins because it has
13 exclusive knowledge of the Products’ contents.
14 130. Additionally, Plaintiff sent notice of these breaches to the retailer.
15 131. Plaintiff and Class Members purchased the Products in reliance upon
16 Defendant’s skill and judgment and the implied warranties of fitness for the purpose.

19 exclusive control of Defendant.
20 134. Defendant knew that the Products would be purchased and used without
21 additional testing by Plaintiff and Class Members.
22 135. The Products contained dangerous, undisclosed ingredients and were
23 unfit for their intended purpose, and Plaintiff and Class Members did not receive the
24 goods as warranted.
25 136. Privity is not required as to Defendant because the Products contained a
26 dangerous toxin. As the known end purchaser, Plaintiff is also a third-party
27 beneficiary of the implied warranty of merchantability.

Case 1:22-cv-07468 Document 1 Filed 11/24/22 Page 28 of 38

1 137. Defendant’s attempts to disclaim or limit the implied warranty of


2 merchantability vis-à-vis consumers are unconscionable and unenforceable.
3 Specifically, Defendant’s warranty limitations are unenforceable because Defendant
4 knowingly sold a defective product without informing consumers about the toxins.
5 138. A gross disparity in bargaining power existed between Defendant and
6 Class Members, as only Defendant knew or should have known that the Products
7 contained toxins at the time of sale and that the devices were not of merchantable
8 quality.
9 139. As a direct and proximate cause of Defendant’s breach of the implied
10 warranty, Plaintiff and Class Members have been injured and harmed because: (a)
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 they would not have purchased the Products on the same terms if they knew that the
12 Products contained the toxins, making it unsafe for consumer use; and (b) the
13 Products do not have the characteristics, uses, or benefits as promised by Defendant.

Case 1:22-cv-07468 Document 1 Filed 11/24/22 Page 30 of 38

1 154. Plaintiff brings this claim individually and on behalf of the members of
2 the proposed Classes against Defendant.
3 155. “Although there are numerous permutations of the elements of the
4 unjust enrichment cause of action in the various states, there are few real differences.
5 In all states, the focus of an unjust enrichment claim is whether the defendant was
6 unjustly enriched. At the core of each state’s law are two fundamental elements—the
7 defendant received a benefit from the plaintiff and it would be inequitable for the
8 defendant to retain that benefit without compensating the plaintiff. The focus of the
9 inquiry is the same in each state.” In re Mercedes-Benz Tele Aid Contract Litig., 257
10 F.R.D. 46, 58 (D.N.J. Apr. 24, 2009) (quoting Powers v. Lycoming Engines, 245 F.R.D.
GOOD GUSTAFSON AUMAIS LLP

11 226, 231 (E.D. Pa. 2007)).


12 156. At all times relevant hereto, Defendant deceptively marketed,
13 advertised, and sold merchandise to Plaintiff and the Classes.
14 157. The Products purchased by Plaintiff and the Class Members did not
15 provide the promised performance and instead contained toxic substances.
16 158. Plaintiff and Class Members conferred a benefit on Defendant by
17 purchasing the Products and by paying a price premium for them.
18 159. Defendant has knowledge of such benefits.
19 160. Defendant has been unjustly enriched in retaining the revenues derived
20 from Plaintiff’s and Class Members’ purchases of the Product, which retention under
