Native "72-hour odor protection" false-advertising suit — dismissed

Hernandez v. Zenlen (the Native brand entity, S.D.N.Y.), filed June 2024, was dismissed on April 9, 2025. Dismissed: the court held a reasonable consumer would not read "72-hour odor protection" as a promise of being completely odor-free for three full days, and no facts supported the claim it was never tested.

Our take

Why It’s on Our Radar

The formula is aluminum-free and reasonably clean, but Native is owned by Procter & Gamble despite its indie image, and a "72-hour" advertising claim suit was dismissed. We surface both for transparency.
