If you are involved in this cosmetic class action law suit, the distribution for the products start today. You can check to see if you are a member of the class by going to the website Cosmetics Settlement, you will see a list of all the retailers involved as well as all the manufacturers who will be giving away $175 million worth of products, starting today while supplies last. When you go to the specific store that your paperwork specifies, there will be a special table set up for this distribution. You are only entitled to one product that is determined by the manufacturer based on your class. Once all the products are given away, they will end this process and there will be no rain checks. You can also call their hotline 877-604-5776 for more information.
Go to jump page for information on manufacturers involved.
As part of a class action settlement, $175 million worth of
free cosmetics products will be distributed to members of the class (see below
to determine whether you are a member of the class) for a maximum of seven
days, while supplies last, on a first come, first served basis, beginning
on January 20, 2009. No rainchecks will be issued. The products will be
distributed at stores owned by the Retailer Defendants (see list immediately
below).
The stores owned by the Retailer Defendants that will be
participating in the settlement product distribution are the following:
Bergdorf Goodman
Bergner’s
Bloomingdale’s
Boston Store
Carson Pirie Scott
Dillard’s
Gottschalks
Herberger’s
Macy’s

A class member will be eligible to receive, while supplies
last, a maximum of ONE free cosmetics product from one of the Manufacturer
Defendants from which he or she purchased Department Store Cosmetics1
during the class period, May 29, 1994 through July 16, 2003, from the list of
products below. If a class member has only purchased products, during the class
period, from one of the Manufacturer Defendants listed below, then that class
member is only entitled to receive a free product from that Manufacturer
Defendant. If a class member has purchased products, during the class period,
from multiple Manufacturer Defendants, then that class member must choose the
ONE free product he or she wishes to claim from one of those Manufacturer
Defendants. Again, these products are only available while supplies last, and no
rainchecks will be issued. If your store has run out of settlement
products from the Manufacturer Defendant(s) from which you have previously
purchased Department Store Cosmetics during the class period, then you may
claim a product (again, while supplies last) from another Manufacturer
Defendant.
