Just For Men Action?

[Cave Dweller]

A Facebook page sent me a message this afternoon that indicates there may be a class action forming against Just For Men due to burns some guys claim to have experienced from using the product.

I will not be part of such an action, but I am intrigued as to how much an individual possibly could expect to receive for what at most seem to be skin irritation type injuries that might have prompted some guys to go to a doctor for a topical relief medication.

Have there been any reports of someone being permanently disfigured from using this stuff?

I use it now and again on my beard... Note to self: you're bald! Where else were you thinking of using it?!.... Never had a problem....  And I have sensitive skin lol... But I only leave it on for 3 mins, so I have some grey left.... I like the salt/pepper look... It states not to leave more than 5 mins, so perhaps some people have?

Some people have sensitivity to the ingredients in hair dye.  If the instructions are followed, you should do a spot test and wait at least 24 hours before using any brand of dye on your entire head or beard.  I suspect most people that had severe reactions skipped the test.  I have never had even mild irritation.

I never had a bad reaction to it either, and my skin is pretty sensitive.  However, I do know people that did have bad irritation from it.

My partner tried it on my eyebrows once (which, left to their own devices will attain a life of their own) and it burned like heck. I'll never try that again -- now I just keep the brows trimmed and tidy with clippers.

But never in my wildest dreams would I assume I'm deserved damages for a few minutes of discomfort.

Longer response (edited).

What happened to taking responsibility for your own actions and using some common sense with products?

I use it on beard/goatee and never had any problems x

I don't have sensitive skin, but do have allergic reactions to beard dye.  I think reactions may very among people, but I can't imagine anything worth a law suit.   I was reading something yesterday about "cross sensitization", which I understood to be possible if you become sensitized to hair dye.  Other products with some of the same ingredients may cause problems too.  One of them is an ingredient in some type of local anesthesia for dental work. ---what would that look like, I wonder?  Would your gums swell and itch?

I don't use any of that stuff. Everyone can tell it's a dye job.

The plaintiffs will get about $14 each and the lawyers will fatten their pocket books.

The only winners will be the lawyers!

Essentially the cost of two more boxes of JFM.

Have to disagree, partly lol, I use it every 6-8 weeks, I only leave it on for 3 minutes max, and it covers around 75% and looks natural, but I agree when you see guys in their 50's with a very dark brown beard, it looks stuck on lol
