Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hain Celestial Group advertised that their products contained no SLS, which is a material claim that is likely to influence consumer purchasing decisions. However, lab tests found that the products contained more than "trace amounts" of SLS, which means that the company has breached an express warranty with its SLS claim. This could result in product liability issues if consumers experience skin irritation or other adverse effects from using the products.
