Lawsuit Alleges Johnson & Johnson OGX Shampoo Products Cause Hair Loss

A class action lawsuit filed over Johnson & Johnson OGX shampoos and conditioners, alleges the manufacturer falsely advertised the hair products as safe, while concealing information consumers may be exposed to formaldehyde and other ingredients which could cause hair loss and other injuries.

The complaint was filed by Larissa Whipple in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on June 7, seeking class action status to pursue damages on behalf of all consumers nationwide who purchased variations of OGX shampoos and conditioners, indicating Johnson & Johnson made misleading and false statements about the benefits purportedly offered by the products, while failing to warn consumers they may be exposed to cancer-causing ingredients.

The lawsuit involves Johnson & Johnson OGX Shampoo and/or Conditioner products, which contain DMDM hydantoin as an ingredient. DMDM hydantoin is an antimicrobial formaldehyde known to cause reactions including itchiness, red rashes on the skin brittle hair, loss of hair and even dermatitis.

Whipple claims Johnson & Johnson OGX shampoo products are marketed nationwide with false and misleading marketing and labeling claims, specifically touting on the product labeling that the OGX line of shampoos and conditioners nourish, revive, enhance and repair damaged hair, making it healthier and thicker. However, the lawsuit claims customers are being exposed to DMDM hydantoin ingredients, which may cause consumers to suffer hair loss, allergic reactions, or skin and scalp irritation.

While formaldehyde-releasers are common in shampoo and conditioner, to prevent microbes from growing in water-based products, the lawsuit claims there are safer alternatives than DMDM hydantoin.

The lawsuit specifically points out that since 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified formaldehyde as a human carcinogen, and the National Toxicology Program of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) named formaldehyde as a known and definite carcinogen to humans.

Whipple claims Johnson & Johnson was or should have been fully aware of DMDM hydantoin risks to consumers, stating the manufacturer announced plans to remove DMDM hydantoin from all products by 2015. However, when Johnson & Johnson acquired Vogue International, including their line of OGX products, Johnson & Johnson failed to change the ingredient profile and continued to sell OGX shampoos and conditioners containing DMDM hydantoin.

The Johnson & Johnson OGX shampoo lawsuit alleges the company falsely advertised benefits of using the line of products, as part of an effort to increase profits by maintaining a false superiority over alternative shampoos, while concealing DMDM hydantoin risks.

The complaint seeks to represent a nationwide class of individuals who purchased one of the OGX products and has either suffered, or will suffer economic losses in repairing and restoring damage caused by the products.

Claims of fraud and unjust enrichment are presented in the case, which also seeks punitive damages against Johnson & Johnson for its alleged malice, motive and reckless disregard for consumer safety.

The case is one of several shampoo lawsuits filed in recent years over products containing formaldehyde, with one of the most recent filed in an Illinois Court against Suave, raising similar allegations the manufacturer used false and misleading marketing and labeling claims to promote their Unilever Professional line of shampoos and conditioners that contain DMDM hydantoin.

In 2014, Unilever agreed to pay $10.2 million to settle a Suave class action lawsuit filed by consumers over hair loss from its formaldehyde-containing Suave Keratin Infusion treatments. The lawsuit claimed the manufacturer engaged in deceptive advertising by claiming Keratin Infusion hair products were formaldehyde free, even though they contained a chemical which released formaldehyde when used.

BUT it is making my hair fall out in an alarming amount. When l went online to find out if it could be the shampoo l just bought so l looked it up on line and found out that this shampoo is having lawsuits about the same problems I am having. I see that they are blaming it on a certain product in the shampoo but they have removed it. Even though My hair is still falling out, dry, frizzy and very difficult to comb or brush after using it. So there are other ingredients that is causing these problems. Do not use this product.

    Ive used ogx products for many years. My hair has been coming out in handfuls. I have to sweep my floors constantly. I never considered the pricey product that promised so much could cause me this much damage. My scalp is so itchy, i scratch constantly. Its embarrassing to be in church and scratching your head.

    I used all these products. They were on sale at the store and I bought them all up. I was expecting my hair to feel healthier but instead, it would note wash out easily, leaving my hair feeling pasty/waxy. Brushing through it left so much hair in my brush. Aweful. Thank you to the person that noticed this!

    I used the OGX Keratin & Biotin shampoo and conditioner for a couple of years. I ended up suffering from hair loss. I had to walk around with head coverings just so i could feel comfortable and have social life. I’m still recovering from it ‘till this day.

    Ugh! I used this shampoo for years. Switched to try to find something that would stop the fallout I was having. My hair was already thin so I couldn't Afford to be losing more! Found a product that not only stopped the fallout but started regrowth. Incomprehensible they didn’t fix this unhealthy issue when it was discovered. There’s got to be some accountability!!!

    I have been using this product for about 7 years. My husband has bald spots that we thought were from psoriasis or something. My hair has been progressive ly thinning, which I thought, I am getting older. Moreso, I get like skin bumps that are scarring me. I never thought of the shampoo and conditioner.

    I was using the shampoo and conditioner for quite some time thinking I was using something that was good for my hair. I did wonder why my scalp was so itchy and every time I shampooed I was loosing clumps of hair. Stopped using after information came out. I was really upset to think something I thought was good for me was actually causing me harm.

  • MaryFebruary 21, 2022 at 8:18 pm

    I thought I found the perfect shampoo and conditioner when I started using these products. The smell was so pleasant and the products lathered and rinsed so well. Then my hair started l to come out! I’ve always been blessed with a full head of hair and now I’m actually scared at the amount of hair loss I’ve experienced.

She asked about my hair products anything new? I said well not really I guess a year or less ago I started a new product. She said to change products. So I did. I bought a hair growing product used for 12 months. I now use another hair growing product an oil and can see more hair around my face growing in. The new growth has taken a whole year to see and get back. I also talked to my hair dresser about the loss of hair 6 months into the 1st hair growing product and not using the shampoo conditioner any more she saw the new hair growth. She also saw the hair loss and thinning of my head of hair. 2021. It has been a sad and upsetting process when I had a great head of hair before all of this in 2020.

I'm going to stop using this product ,the shampoo was suppose to help I can't afford any more hair loss maybe it will stop.

My hair stylist says she loved OGX and she wasn't going to pay attention to this lawsuit because she's used it for 5 years and my stylist hair is so thick you can't get your hands through it. So I'm at a total loss as to where to go from here, I stock my cabinets and I have an entire shelf of OGX and suave and TRESemme. And my hair stylist has extremely thick hair and she's used OGX from many years.... So who do I listen to and where do I go??

    I began using OXG several years ago resulting in extreme hair loss. My hair was coming out by the handfuls and thinning to the point you could see my scalp in the front. I stopped using OXG when I began to hear about the problems with the product. My hair has begun to grow back but I'm concerned it will never be as thick as it was before using OXG.

Even 'lucked out to but the 50% more free large bottle. What a mistake! In April my hair has falling out like crazy when I combed my hair, my husband even noticed it and commented on the amount of hair everywhere that I was losing. I rationalized it must be my age or some unknown stress might be causing it and foolishly thought well, what hair I have left will at least be 'thick and full' It wasn't until May I had saw online that there was a class action lawsuit against OGX for the use of DMDM hydantion in their hair product.. sure enough I looked at my bottles and there were those evil words printed on them under ingredients. Of course stopped using it immediately and within a month it had stopped falling out and slowly growing back in. I now check all ingredients on bottles before I buy them to make sure that harmful product is in NOTHING that I buy!

I haven't used it in 2 months still falling out at same pace. Will it ever stop.

I paid more for this shampoo and conditioner bc it claimed thicker more hydrated hair but it did the total opposite I use to love my hair now I just pull it up bc I can't stand looking at it. This is complete bs. We trust that the products do what they are supposed to and Definitely trust they r not gonna harm us. But I guess u can't trust anything anymore what is wrong with this world. People come on don't harm other people for a profit. What happened to treating others the way u want to b treated.

    I was so excited about finding a shampoo that said it could thicken hair. What I got instead was bald spots and scalp sores. J&J executives are like the ones in the tobacco industry, for years saying cigarettes were safe while all the time knowing they weren’t. I hope they are enjoying their I’ll gotten gains.

  • DannielleAugust 21, 2021 at 5:53 pm

    I have been using this product for the last couple of years. When I went to the salon they noticed a bald spot in the back of my hair and another spot red and irritated.

    I used the blue bottles for about 3 months and my hair keeps falling off even if I look at it. I'm so terrified if my hair doesn't grow back my scalp is irritated and very itchy I don't know how to stop this. No one should go through this and I'm really surprised how this awful company still have their products on the shelfs.

  • KerrieAugust 4, 2021 at 2:37 pm

    I have used these products for about 3 years. I have used many- shampoo conditioner, hair oil, leave in conditioner, etc. For the last year I have noticed a huge difference in the thinness of my hair. Hair comes out randomly - while brushing etc. I see it in my car. On my face etc.

  • TerriaAugust 3, 2021 at 6:17 am

    I used the blue bottle and when I noticed hair loss I didn’t think it was the shampoo and conditioner, just thought it was stress. Even thought it was Alopecia. I still have the bottles under my sink and they have the damaging ingredients.

Since then I have been seen by my hair stylist and she refuses to touch my hair due to the severe damage. Since this event I have researched OGX products and can agree with other peoples complaints. THESE PRODUCTS NEEDS TO BE PULLED FROM THE MARKET ASAP.

    I, like many others did not know anything about the ingredients. several other ppl in my life noticed the bald spot before i personally seen it. i was in complete shock when i seen it for myself and i was under alot of stress do to going through a rough divorce. i mentioned this to a friend who said no, ive seen you use the ogx shampoo. its the purple one. how do you become a part of the suit?

I MEAN, I DEVELOPED SERIOUS, NOTICEABLE AND PROGRESSIVE HAIR LOSS PRACTICALLY OVERNIGHT WHILE USING THESE PRODUCTS AND I DIDN'T LINK IT TO USE OF YOUR PRODUCTS BECAUSE I SO TRUSTED YOUR BRAND!!!!!!!!

YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT I WANT IN ON THIS LAWSUIT, YESTERDAY!!! AND IF MY HAIR DOES NOT REGENERATE TO ITS FORMER GLORY NOW THAT I WILL NEVER, EVER USE YOUR CRAPASS PRODUCTS EVER AGAIN AND WILL SEEK OUT WELL-RESEARCHED AND PROVEN NATURAL HAIR REGROWTH PRODUCTS TO BRING IT BACK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE...IF THOSE PRODUCTS FAIL TO RESTORE MY HAIR, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!!!

    I’ve been using OGX shampoo / conditioner for the past 4 months under the impression it was good for my hair, my hair has thinned and fallen out much faster than it otherwise had in the past. (I assumed it was due to the length of my hair) In addition to that i’m growing my hair out for charity to donate it. I don’t feel right donating my hair if it has been severely damaged.

In 2016, while living in Illinois, I won a silent auction for a basket of personal care products that included some boutique salon hair care products with Argon Oil. I liked the shine they imparted to my hair, so when they ran out I looked for something less expensive to replace them. I saw the OGX-branded Moroccan Argon Oil shampoo and conditioner in a local pharmacy and decided to try that. At first I was satisfied that these products gave my hair shine and manageability similar to the salon products I’d been using. But in late 2017 or early 2018, I developed a red patch the size of a nickel on my scalp. At first it was just one but over time, I developed a second one. They oozed a clear liquid that would dry into crusty patches between shampoos. In hindsight, I realize that that also is when I started experiencing significant hair loss, although at the time I didn’t connect the two. Seeking to quell the scalp irritation, I (unwisely as it turns out) switched from the OGX Moroccan Argon Oil shampoo and conditioner to the OGX Tee Tree Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. They felt soothing while I used them in the shower, but, I realize in hindsight, that rather than improving my scalp condition they continued to make it worse. I moved to Maryland in the fall of 2018 and continued to use the OGX Tee Tree Oil products while I continued to experience scalp irritation and hair loss. I attributed the hair loss to the aging process but began to worry about the red patches, fearing skin cancer. My wife, a nurse practitioner, thought they most likely were Actinic Keratosis and urged me to go see a dermatologist. In early 2020 I saw a physician assistant in a local dermatology practice who biopsied the two red patches and called me to say they were not cancerous, but offered no other advice. During the COVID 19 pandemic the condition of my scalp deteriorated quickly and the hair loss grew more pronounced. I thought maybe it was a response to the Pandemic stress many of us felt. By late 2020 I was very nearly bald and very depressed and embarrassed by the condition of my scalp, the top of which was now completely bright red. In early 2021, when our local dermatology practice had resumed seeing patients, I made an appointment with one of their physicians. He took one look at my scalp and said I had contact dermatitis. He put me on Prednisone and told me to discontinue using any cosmetic products NOT made by Clear and Free. In a matter of weeks the scalp redness and oozing resolved. He and my primary care physician then put me on Finasteride and Rogaine. My hair loss has now returned to its baseline level, and I am very slowly starting to regrow some of the hair I lost. However, most of the new hair coming in is white. This is something I experienced also when in my 40s I had several bouts of Alopecia Areata. Then, I would lose a quarter-size patch of hair and when it grew back in it came in white. So the upshot is that due to the OGX family of products and the negligence of Johnson and Johnson, I have gone, in the space of a few years, from being a youthful-appearing 63 year old to and elderly looking 66 year old — and I want to see them help accountable.

    I’ve used ogx products for years on and off but only started using it again recently. I began to notice hair almost the size of a fist would be coming out every time I would wash my hair. Now I have two big bald spots on both side of my head which I now have to hide.

    My crown hair fell out along with a change of texture was after using their biotin conditioner and shampoo. How can I join this lawsuit?

    I have used these products off and on for years. I have hair that comes out daily that I feel is coming out to an expensive point. It’s like handfuls when I wash and full hair balls when I brush.

    I have been using this brand over 3 years and my hair had got so thin plus I have been dealing with itching and rashes or dermatitis too on my head and even skin rashes . I am very concerned now!

    This is crazy I have been using their shampoo and conditioner. Also the sunscreen I have four bottles of it and they tell you just disregard it I should be reimbursed. This is crazy that they keep getting away with doing this kind of stuff
