Claim cash from the $4.85M Antifungal Spray Settlement — Deadline March 11, 2026
U.S. purchasers of recalled Lotrimin and Tinactin antifungal sprays contaminated with benzene may submit no-proof or proof claims for cash payments from a $4.85M settlement by March 11, 2026.
The Bayer Antifungal Spray Class Action Settlement resolves claims in Huertas et al. v. Aeropres Corp., et al.regarding certain Lotrimin® and Tinactin® aerosol antifungal spray products that were part of Bayer’s October 2021 recall due to potential benzene contamination, a chemical that can pose health risks. The lawsuit alleges these products were manufactured, labeled, marketed, and sold in ways that violated consumer protection and product safety laws. Bayer and the other defendants deny wrongdoing, and no court has adjudicated the merits; the settlement was reached to avoid the expense and uncertainty of ongoing litigation.
Eligible class members who purchased one or more covered antifungal spray products in the United States may file a claim to seek cash payments. The settlement offers two claim options — with proof of purchase or without proof — each with different payout limits. Payments may be adjusted on a pro-rata basis if total approved claims exceed the available net settlement fund after costs and fees.
Products included in the settlement cover Lotrimin® and Tinactin® aerosol spray products subject to Bayer’s recall, such as:
This settlement provides financial relief to consumers affected by the recall of benzene-contaminated antifungal spray products, helping recover some of the cost of products that were potentially unsafe. It also underscores consumer safety enforcement related to product contamination and labeling compliance.
