Strides Testosterone Gel Benzene Settlement (2026)

If you purchased Strides testosterone gel between June 1, 2022 and July 31, 2025, you may be entitled to compensation from a class action settlement involving benzene contamination. The lawsuit alleged that certain Strides testosterone gel products contained benzene, a potentially harmful chemical that should not be present in topical medications. Strides has agreed to establish a $750,000 non-reversionary fund to compensate affected consumers — meaning any unclaimed money does not go back to the company. This settlement is open to consumers across the United States who purchased the affected product during the specified time period. You don't need to have experienced any health issues to file a claim — simply purchasing the product during the covered window may make you eligible. The deadline to submit your claim is September 16, 2026, so there's still time to act. Benzene is a known carcinogen that has been found in a number of consumer products in recent years, prompting recalls and legal action. If you bought Strides testosterone gel during the covered period, read on to find out how to file your claim and what you might receive.
