Business Wire
The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG), through its wholly
owned subsidiary The Gillette Company, today filed a lawsuit in
U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York against
Edgewell Personal Care, a manufacturer of shaving products. The
lawsuit focuses on Edgewell’s 3-bladed private label razors, which
are sold in major retail outlets throughout the U.S. The complaint
alleges deceptive acts and practices, false advertising, unfair
competition, and patent infringement by Edgewell.
The lawsuit targets false claims made against Gillette MACH3®,
one of the most iconic and trusted brands ever built in the shaving
category. It also challenges multiple patent violations.
“We invest heavily in innovation - and our scientists work
tirelessly to provide men with one of the best, most reliable
shaving experiences in the world,” said Deborah P. Majoras, chief
legal officer of P&G. “When a competitor makes false and
misleading claims against one of our products and infringes our
patents, it’s unfair to consumers, and to our employees and
shareholders, and we will challenge those violations.”
Gillette has been a clear innovation leader in the shaving
category for over 100 years, revolutionizing the shaving experience
time and again since the advent of the first safety razor. Gillette
makes some of the most advanced shaving technology in the world
including its recently launched Fusion ProShield razors, which
provide lubrication before and after the blades to shield men’s
faces from irritation while they shave. Gillette also offers a wide
range of shaving solutions for consumers in every shaving segment,
whether male or female, systems or disposables - and at every price
point. Gillette razors are some of the most trusted razors
available, used by over 750 million men globally and recommended by
grooming experts, dermatologists and skin experts globally.
