A U.S. judge on Friday rejected efforts by the companies to dismiss three proposed class action lawsuits filed in 2023 by consumers and other buyers
Four European and American fragrance makers must face lawsuits accusing them of conspiring to inflate prices of ingredients used to make cosmetics, cleaners and other household products, a federal judge in New Jersey has ruled.
The lawsuits, alleging an illegal price-fixing conspiracy, came after EU investigators in 2023 announced an antitrust investigation of some major fragrance makers. Givaudan, Symrise, Firmenich and International Flavors & Fragrances did not immediately respond to requests for comment. They have denied any wrongdoing.Martini is presiding over cases filed by consumers, companies that purchased products directly from the defendants, and “indirect” buyers that purchased fragrance ingredients and compounds from sellers other than the defendants.
The fragrance companies in seeking dismissal of the lawsuits argued that the plaintiffs failed to offer adequate evidence of a conspiracy to fix prices.
