Neutrogena settles Skin360 face scan suit for $4.7 million
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc., now Kenvue, agreed to pay $4.7 million to settle Melzer v. Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. The suit says the Skin360 skin assessment tool collected face scans from Illinois users without the consent the state's biometric privacy law requires. If you did a Skin360 assessment in Illinois between December 9, 2019 and May 5, 2023, you can file a claim at skin360bipasettlement.com by November 25. Payments depend on how many valid claims come in. A settlement isn't a court finding.
Why it matters
Skin scanners are on more beauty sites every month. Before you scan your face for a product match, it's worth checking what the site does with the photo.
The story so far
The settlement draws wider coverage ahead of the claim deadline.
