Settlement Information
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit in which Plaintiffs allege that Defendant Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc., now known as Kenvue Brands LLC (“Defendant” or “JJCI”) violated Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS 14/1 et seq. (“BIPA”). This lawsuit alleges that Defendant violated BIPA by collecting, storing, disclosing, and profiting from the biometric identifiers and/or biometric information of individuals who scanned their faces during a Skin360® skin assessment without first providing the requisite disclosures or obtaining the requisite consent, and without publicly disclosing a data retention policy. By entering into the Settlement, JJCI does not concede the merits of any of the claims against it and denies that it violated the law. The Court has not decided who is right. Instead, the parties agreed to the Settlement to avoid the expense, uncertainty, and risks associated with litigation.
