AWKO lawyers Bryan Aylstock<\/a> and Jason Richards<\/a> were appointed co-lead counsel by the judge in this MDL. Over 209,000 claims were filed and processed. In rejecting to the single objector\u2019s claim that the settlement could have been better, the court said \u201cthere is no better settlement\u201d than the one achieved here. In a statement to the press, attorney Jason Richards<\/a> said the following:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”0px|25px|0px|25px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] We are very pleased with the court\u2019s decision to grant final approval of the settlement. The order was critical of Mr. Frank\u2019s objection, and for good reason. There could be no \u201cbetter settlement\u201d in our view. We were able to get consumers full refunds for benzene contaminated sunscreen products, vouchers for non-contaminated sunscreen products, and injunctive relief which requires the company to adopt new testing protocols for benzene to protect consumers in the future. Mr. Frank\u2019s objection seemed to fit his own personal objectives. Whatever those objectives were, they were his alone. They were not shared by any other lawyers or class members in this litigation, and were rightly rejected by the court. This is a win-win settlement for consumers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jason Richards<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n
