The settlement, stemming from a lawsuit against Tom’s of Maine and its parent company, Colgate-Palmolive Company, addresses concerns raised by federal regulators about manufacturing practices at the company’s facility.

Consumers can file a claim for reimbursement, with refunds capped at three products per claimant with proof of purchase or one product without proof.
