Important Class Action Settlement for Skin360® Users

Between December 9, 2019, and May 5, 2023, individuals in Illinois who performed a Skin360® skin assessment, including variations like Neutrogena® Skin360® and NeoStrata® Skin360®, are potentially entitled to cash payments from a class action settlement. This settlement arises from a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc., now known as Kenvue Brands LLC, addressing allegations of wrongful data handling related to biometric information.

Background of the Lawsuit

The legal proceedings, under the supervision of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, revolve around claims made against Johnson & Johnson for allegedly collecting, storing, and profiting from users' biometric identifiers without proper consent. The court granted preliminary approval for the settlement, marking a significant step in the litigation process.

The proposed settlement is at $4.7 million, a figure that will be distributed among qualifying class members who submit valid claims by the cutoff date of November 25, 2026. Each claimant’s payout will depend on several factors, including the total number of submissions.

Who is Eligible?

You may qualify for the settlement if you utilized any version of the Skin360® skin assessment via a mobile app or website while in Illinois during the specified dates. This includes assessments associated with partnerships or collaborations involving Skin360®.

How to Make a Claim

Eligible individuals should fill out a Claim Form, available online at www.Skin360BIPASettlement.com. Completed forms can be submitted online, or via email or traditional mail. It is crucial to meet the November deadline to receive any potential payment.

Settlement Breakdown

The settlement fund will be allocated as follows:

• - Payments to class members who submit valid claims.
• - Compensation for the settlement administrator for managing the notification process and distribution of funds.
• - Attorney fees and other costs associated with the lawsuit.

In the event there are remaining funds that cannot be allocated to claimants, those funds will be donated to a charitable cause approved by the court.

Rights and Options for Class Members

As a class member, you have several options:
1. File a Claim: Ensure you fill out the Claim Form by the deadline to be eligible for payment.
2. Do Nothing: If you prefer not to participate, be aware you will not receive any compensation, but you will still be bound by court decisions.
3. Exclude Yourself: If you want to maintain your right to sue, you’ll need to formally exclude yourself from this settlement by November 10, 2026.
4. Object: If you disagree with aspects of the proposed settlement, such as attorney fees or Class Representatives' service payments, you can voice your objections by the same date.

The Court has appointed dedicated lawyers from reputable law firms as Class Counsel to represent all involved. A final hearing is scheduled for December 17, 2026, to evaluate the settlement's fairness and address any objections raised. Attendance is optional but if desired, participants may retain personal legal representation for advocacy during the hearing.
