Description:

Camden, New Jersey personal injury lawyers sued the Defendant on product liability theories.

Bayer U.S. LLC (“Bayer”) is a pharmaceutical
company that sells a variety of healthcare products, including
the antifungal Lotrimin and Tinactin spray products at issue in
this litigation. Lotrimin and Tinactin are used to treat skin
infections, such as athlete’s foot and ringworm.1 In October
2021, Bayer recalled millions of dollars’ worth of Lotrimin and
Tinactin spray products after discovering that products dating
back to 2018 were contaminated with benzene. Plaintiffs
here—nine individuals who purchased Lotrimin and Tinactin
products during the recall period—do not allege that they have
suffered any physical injuries from using contaminated
products. Instead, they seek compensation for economic losses
they allegedly suffered from purchasing products that they
claim are worth less than the uncontaminated products for
which they bargained.

Outcome: Partially reversed and remanded.
