A New York federal judge approved a $1.9 million settlement in a lawsuit against Colgate-Palmolive, related to claims that its Fabuloso-brand cleaning products were tainted with harmful bacteria. This settlement resolves three class action lawsuits accusing the company of not issuing a timely recall of the contaminated products, which posed health risks, especially to those with weakened immune systems. The settlement includes customer refunds, with a final approval hearing set for April 2024, and the plaintiffs' attorneys seeking a third of the settlement amount for legal fees.
