Gojo, the makers of Purell hand sanitizers, are currently facing multiple class-action lawsuits charging the manufacturer with presenting "misleading claims" to the public regarding their product's efficacy, in that it kills “99.99% of illness-causing germs" when used appropriately.
The most recent suit, filed in the Northern District of Ohio on March 13, represents four individuals located in four different states - Michigan, Massachusetts, Oregon and California - and is seeking damages for every consumer who has ever bought Purell and “relied upon the product’s packaging and marketing materials” to make an inference about their purchase.
