Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Grove Collaborative (Grove Co.) misled consumers through plastic-neutral, plastic-free, ocean-bound plastic, or similar sustainability marketing that may overstate the environmental benefits of its products or packaging.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Purchasing Grove Collaborative products because of sustainability and plastic-reduction claims.
- Relying on plastic-neutral, plastic-free, or ocean-bound plastic marketing.
- Paying premium prices for environmentally focused household products.
- Believing the products significantly reduced plastic pollution.
- Learning that certain sustainability commitments or environmental claims may have changed or been more limited than consumers expected.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Consumers often pay more for products marketed as environmentally responsible. If plastic-neutral or plastic-free representations materially overstate the products’ environmental impact or omit important qualifications, consumers may have paid a premium based on misleading advertising.
Potential Claims May Include
- False advertising
- Misleading environmental claims
- Consumer protection violations
- Breach of express warranty
- Unjust enrichment
