one really has to think that the lawyers are trolling these boards just to see how much attention this is getting.

 

it is boring already - the news is old. And now so many new Beauty companies are introducing their own cleansing conditioners and I guess they should just be forewarned.

 

o and btw clueless why my name was on their random list.


Wouldn't be surprised if some of these companies & so called ambulance lawyers for clients troll the boards, especially the under 5 posts posters.

Does the class action email even ask for proof of purchase?


No, they have your contact information from the records from where you purchased it.  So they know you bought WEN.  That's all the proof they need.


For everyone not making a claim, the excess funds will go in what is call cy pres, the excess funds are donated, usually the judge picks a charity if the parties can't agree on a charity up front.  Since no charity was named in the settlement, and the they couldn't agree to return the money to the defendant, the money goes to charity.

I just got the e-mail today and I have only ordered WEN through QVC.

 

Under the option of "Object-Write to the Court..." does anyone think think it would be helpful to send a letter in support of Chaz?  In junior high or high school we were taught about "Caveat emtor" (my spelling is probably wrong) which means "Let the buyer beware" being a legal benchmark.  I don't understand why the court would allow this settlement to proceed based on claims made without strong science.

I got the e-mail also.  I only purchased Wen once many years ago from QVC.  My hair felt dirty to me so I only lasted about 2 weeks on it and went back to washing my hair.

The originators of the emails should not have your contact information unless you provide it. That would mean your email addresses have been given out. This should be a cause for concern.

This is a major concern for me.  Don't like it one bit.

You basically provide consent for these types of interactions when you provide your contact information to the seller. They can notify you this way concerning legal settlements just as they can notify you if there was a recall.

I recently received an email about the lawsuit, I bought the Wen products and used them for about 3months, had a noticeable amount of hair loss and chose to dump the products down the drain, which was about 4 years ago. I suppose I could check out this lawsuit but I spent more than they'll ever send me...
