America’s most popular condom brand is being sued over claims it failed to disclose how its product contained toxic chemicals.

Matthew Goodman, the only person named in the proposed class action, purchased a pack of Trojan Ultra Thin condoms from a New York pharmacy in October 2023. According to the complaint, the pack was then sent to an independent lab and was found to contain PFAS – microscopic substances linked to infertility and cancer.

The lawsuit- which includes 100 more anonymous people in addition to Goodman – is against Church & Dwight company Inc., the manufacturer of the brand, which is worth an estimated $24.9billion.

The lawyers said their clients wouldn’t have purchased the product if they had known it contained these chemicals, and that their packaging should make clear these claims.

The lawsuit alleged that the packaging for the products does not disclose the presence of PFAS. Lawyers said: ‘Based on the label, he reasonably believed the Product was safe for use on his genitalia. But the Product contained PFAs’.
