A class action lawsuit claims OGX products are sold in opaque containers that do not reasonably inform consumers of the actual amount of product inside. OGX sells a variety of hair and body care products, including shampoos, conditioners, treatments, and styling products. Plaintiff Silvia Garcia filed the OGX class action lawsuit on Aug. 3 in California federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws. According to Garcia, OGX hair products are sold in containers that are up to half empty, deceiving consumers into paying for empty space. The class action lawsuit argues that the company’s packaging is systematically misleading, representing the product as adequately filled when it contains an unlawful amount of empty space, also known as “slack-fill.”

The front of the Product’s packaging does not include any information that would reasonably apprise Plaintiff of the quantity of product relative to the size of the container, such as a fill line. Garcia argues Vogue International under-fills its OGX products to save money and deceive consumers into purchasing them over competitors’ products. The class action lawsuit claims that Vogue International’s slack-fill scheme harms consumers and competitors who have implemented labeling changes to alert consumers to the true amount of product in each container. The plaintiff is suing for violations of California’s consumer protection laws and seeks certification of the class action, as well as damages, restitution, disgorgement, fees, costs, and a jury trial. The lawsuit is Garcia v. Vogue International LLC, Case No. 3:25-cv-01987, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. More to come!
