MacNaughton, et al. v. Young Living Essential Oils, LC
Case No. 24LA0329
If you purchased essential oil Products from Young Living for personal consumption from the period of January 1, 2017, through April 25, 2024, and submit an approved claim, you may be eligible to receive a cash payment and Young Living coupon
Purchases made may be subject to Proof of Purchase. The Settlement Administrator may verify your claim.
An Illinois Court authorized the Notice. It is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
A Settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit pending in the Circuit Court of St. Clair County, Illinois (“IL Court”) titled MacNaughton, et al. v. Young Living Essential Oils, LC (the “Litigation”). The purpose of this website is to inform you of the Litigation and the Settlement so that you may decide what steps to take in relation to it.
Plaintiffs Lori MacNaughton and Lisa Ladonski (the “Plaintiffs” or “Class Representatives”) filed a lawsuit against Young Living Essential Oils, LC (“Young Living”), on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated. The Litigation alleges that Young Living engaged in “unlawful and deceptive conduct” in the “marketing, sale and delivery” of its line of essential oil products.
Young Living denies each and every one of the allegations of unlawful conduct, any wrongdoing, and any liability whatsoever, and no court or other entity has made any judgment or other determination of any liability. Young Living further denies that any Settlement Class Member is entitled to any relief and, other than for Settlement purposes, that this Litigation is appropriate for certification as a class action. Young Living has agreed to settle the Litigation simply to avoid the uncertainties, expenses, and resources associated with ongoing litigation.
