On November 14, 2014, the court certified two classes: a “Jason class” and an “Avalon

19

22

The Jason Class,” defined as:

All persons who purchased a cosmetic product in California sold under the Jason brand name
between May 12, 2007 and January 31, 2011 other than those Jason brand cosmetic products
that are USDA-certified as organic.
