If you purchased Softsoap Antibacterial liquid hand soap containing the ingredient triclosan between 1/1/1992 and 8/4/2015, you may want to know about the Softsoap Antibacterial Soap Class Action Lawsuit. This settlement resolves a lawsuit accusing the manufacturer of Softsoap Antibacterial hand soap of deceptive marketing practices. According to the plaintiffs, the products are supposed to “eliminate 99 percent of germs” with the active ingredient triclosan but it fails to do so. The plaintiff sused several studies to show that triclosan didn’t kill any more bacteria than soap and water. As a result of this class action lawsuit, the defendant will refrain from making three of the five statements that the lead plaintiffs found to be misleading. The Softsoap manufacturer also agreed to use triclosan in its products “only in a manner consistent with final FDA regulations.”

Jenna Slye says
it’s not that the triclosan doesn’t WORK (as far as your home being contaminated from meats) it’s that Triclosan is KILLING YOU!!!!
Nancy Forrester says
I too have used this over the years and would like additional information. Thank you.
Neal says
I have the same question as Courtney and Ernest because my family has used this anti-bacterial soap for a number of years
Ernest Moody says
where are the forms for soap
Courtney R. says
I want to know as well. I always use this soap in my home to eliminate meat and other germs from our hands. this is unsettling to think ive probably contaminated my home with dangerous bacteria from meats.
