Many have sensitivities to products. I personally am allergic to quite a few antibiotics so try to avoid them if I can. I do use Wen exclusively at this point because of the results. I didn't buy any more until I could do some homework on this issue but have since resumed. I wonder if any involved in the lawsuit have ever used Botox? I personally won't because it is a true toxin and not just a sensitizer. It really does not have a long enough history for me to get past what can happen if Botox spreads from the injection site. Yep, possible death. As to Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, It is considered ok in rinse off products if concentrations are less than 15 ppm and in leave on products at concentrations of no more than 7.5 ppm (International Journal of Toxicology). The products that reported sensitivities were at 50 ppm or more. I guess we would need to know the parts per million in Wen before making more of an informed decision. Personally I would be so sad to stop using Wen. I no longer have a cabinet full of useless shampoos and conditioners that I ultimately throw away. I will never have hair like the models, but for the first time in many years my hair is shiny again. It doesn't break off and doesn't look like a dried out bird's nest. That' good enough for me. 
The bottom line is if you are allergic to something, you don't use it. I doubt an attorney would take on a case to sue a pharmaceutical company because of a penicillin allergy.

Ok, I just replied about my Wen experience a couple days ago. I just saw a news report about a very popular preservative called methylchloroisothiazolinone and other iazolinones causing a lot of allergies in people lately. The symptoms are similar to eczema, ie skin irritations, redness, peeling, etc. These preservatives are the last two ingredients in all Wen conditioning cleansers. I have a feeling this is the cause of hair loss in some people using it. I personally don't feel this is a big problem for me so I will continue to use Wen, but it certainly is something to think about. These chemicals can be found in a million products, like baby wipes, hand soaps, shampoos, etc. It might pay to read labels!
Or NOT pay...considering the original topic! ha ha
Don't you think maybe the ambulance-chasing law firm is widely publicizing this supposed "case" in order to attract additional litigants? Out of the millions of people who have used Wen for many years, there are six people attempting to get "class action" compensation. A higher percentage of people have problems with drinking water.
If there is a "known manufacturing defect" why haven't they provided it as "proof"? The lawsuit is directed at Guthy-Renker, but if there really is some weird "defect", wouldn't Guthy-Renker then sue the product formulators from which they licensed the products?
Methylchloroisothiazolinone - this is one of the preservatives used instead of Parabens, because conspiracy theorists made everyone terrified of parabens. Methylchloroisothiazolinone causes way more allergic reactions and irritations, but...it's not a paraben!
No matter - it NOT in Wen cleansing conditioners anyways.

I wonder if it's not in the G-R formulas...if that's one of the ingredients that isn't "allowed" to be in the international formulas?

Oh yeah, don't think I didn't notice. And it wasn't the only old post that the poster bumped up. Not real sly, eh?
HD, nope, not the brightest bulb on the tree!
OH DEAR! BUMPING IS AGAINST THE RULES!
