What happened
Buyers alleged Dr. Squatch labeled soaps, deodorants and other personal care products as 'natural' when they contained synthetic ingredients. The company denies the allegations and agreed to a $9 million settlement fund.
The case is Guzman, et al. v. Dr. Squatch, LLC (No. 25STCV03523) in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.
A court-appointed administrator runs the claim process and sends the payments. SettleClub is not affiliated with the administrator or with Dr. Squatch.
Who qualifies
Anyone in the United States who bought a Dr. Squatch product labeled 'natural' between November 1, 2018 and August 29, 2026. The official FAQ lists the 19 covered products. Company employees, officers and their immediate families are excluded.
The class period is Nov 1, 2018 to Aug 29, 2026. If your purchase, account or visit falls outside those dates, you are not part of this settlement even if everything else fits.
How much you could get
Payments are pro-rata share of the fund from a fund of $9,000,000.
The settlement fund is split among everyone who files a valid claim, after attorneys' fees, administration costs and any service awards approved by the court, so the final amount depends on how many people file.
Do you need proof? No.
The settlement website lists no receipt requirement; you submit a claim form listing the covered products you bought. The online claim form may limit how many products you can claim without documentation, so check it before you start. Payment is pro rata, based on the benefits you and everyone else claim, after fees of up to one-third of the fund, costs and roughly $475,000 in administration.
You sign the claim form under penalty of perjury, so only file if you genuinely fit the class definition above. That is the whole requirement.
How to file
Submit the claim form online by November 27, 2026. The opt-out and objection deadline passed on October 13, 2026. The final approval hearing is March 2, 2027 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific in Los Angeles. Payment is by check or digital payment.
The deadline is Nov 27, 2026. Filing takes a few minutes online. Keep the confirmation number the administrator gives you; it is the only proof you filed.
When the money arrives
The court holds its final approval hearing on Mar 2, 2027. Payments go out after the judge approves the settlement and any appeals are resolved, which typically takes a few months.
Track this claim in SettleClub and you will get a reminder before the deadline and a nudge when payments start going out.

Questions
Is the Dr. Squatch settlement legit?+
Yes. It is a court-approved settlement in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. You file on the administrator's official site, never through a third party, and nobody legitimate will ask you to pay to claim.
Do I need a lawyer?+
No. Class counsel already represents the class, and their fees come out of the fund. You just file the claim form.
Do I need a receipt?+
No. This settlement accepts claims on your sworn statement alone.
What if I miss the deadline?+
Late claims are rejected. The administrator has no discretion to accept them, which is why a reminder matters more than it sounds.
