In a recent counterfeit lawsuit, a federal jury has ruled unanimously in the favor of Athena Cosmetics, Inc., parent company to RevitaLash Cosmetics.
The lawsuit—against AMN Distribution, Inc. and Moishe Newman—alleged that the defendants sold counterfeit goods, infringing on the RevitaLash brand's registered trademarks and breached a previous settlement agreement signed in 2019. The defendants own and operate a website called BrushExpress as well as numerous stores on eBay and other online marketplaces, under various aliases, said Athena Cosmetics.
"We will do everything in our power to protect the integrity of the RevitaLash brand name and, most importantly, the safety of our customers," said Michael Brinkenhoff, M.D., RevitaLash Cosmetics' CEO and founder, in a statement.
"As the global leader in the category, we take great pride in our formulations, packaging and strict regulatory compliance. We will spare no expense when it comes to protecting our brand reputation, which we have worked 15 years to establish, and this victory serves as that message,” added RevitaLash Cosmetic’s President and Global Chief Marketing Officer Lori Jacobus.

The brand also sells through iRevitaLash.com, Nordstrom, Net-A-Porter and a large network of independently owned salons and spas. The company also stated that consumers should avoid purchasing RevitaLash brand cosmetic products from unauthorized sellers like Walmart, Walgreens, Alibaba, eBay and similar stores as these may sell counterfeit, expired or otherwise tampered goods.
