A federal court has authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. If you are a class member, your legal rights are affected by whether you act or not. Please read this Notice carefully.

In this lawsuit Plaintiffs allege that Defendants, Newell Brands Inc. and its subsidiary NUK USA LLC (“Defendants”), violated state consumer protection laws in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and Washington by misleading consumers through use of the word “orthodontic” on packaging for NUK Orthodontic Pacifiers. Plaintiffs allege the “orthodontic” label on NUK Orthodontic Pacifiers is misleading and represents oral health benefits that do not exist and caused consumers to pay more than they otherwise would have. Plaintiffs are seeking recovery for alleged advertising-related economic losses only. Defendants contend that the labeling on NUK Orthodontic Pacifiers is not misleading in any way and that the word “orthodontic” accurately describes their product. Defendants deny Plaintiffs’ allegations of any wrongdoing and deny that they violated any state consumer protection laws.

Defendants’ “orthodontic” pacifiers at issue are sold under the NUK brand name and include the following products, as well as any other NUK-branded pacifiers that have an "orthodontic" label: NUK Orthodontic Pacifiers, NUK Space™ Orthodontic Pacifiers, NUK Latex Orthodontic Pacifiers, NUK Sports Orthodontic Pacifiers, NUK Confetti Orthodontic Pacifiers, NUK Fashion Orthodontic Pacifiers, NUK Sensitive™ Orthodontic Pacifiers, and NUK Juicy Orthodontic Pacifiers.
