For questions about Colgate, Palmolive, Fabuloso, Softsoap, Irish Spring, Ajax, or other consumer products, call 1-800-468-6502 Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM Eastern Time. Colgate-Palmolive also offers email and 24/7 chat options through its official Contact Us page. Have the product name, UPC or lot information if available, purchase date, retailer, and a detailed description of the issue ready.
For a product complaint involving damage, unusual appearance, packaging defects, an adverse reaction, or quality concerns, preserve the product and packaging until Consumer Support advises you what to do. Product codes and manufacturing information on the packaging can be important for investigation.
For shareholder matters, contact Investor Relations at 855-322-3551 or 212-310-2575, while registered shareholder account issues may require Computershare instead. Corporate matters can be directed to 300 Park Avenue or the main corporate phone 212-310-2000.
Complaints may concern product quality, defective packaging, allergic or adverse reactions, advertising, refunds, distribution, privacy, or corporate conduct. Keep the product, package, lot code, receipt, photographs, medical documentation where relevant, and copies of previous support communications before escalating.
Call 1-800-468-6502, use live chat, or email through Colgate-Palmolive’s official Contact Us page. Provide the product name, where and when it was purchased, UPC or manufacturing code, and a detailed description of the complaint.
If the complaint involves a specific specialty brand, pet-nutrition product, distributor issue, investor matter, or partnership, use the relevant brand or department rather than ordinary Consumer Support. Hill’s pet-nutrition matters, for example, can require product-specific veterinary or nutrition support.
If the first response does not resolve the issue, ask for the case to be reviewed by a supervisor or product-quality specialist. Keep the original case number and provide any additional photographs, receipts, medical documentation, or packaging information requested.
Submit the complaint through the company’s online written-contact system so there is a documented record. Include previous case numbers and summarize all prior attempts to resolve the issue. Written documentation is particularly useful in product-safety, adverse-reaction, or refund disputes.
Serious unresolved matters can be sent to Colgate-Palmolive Company, 300 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022. Include full contact details, product information, case numbers, evidence, and the specific outcome requested.
Investor and shareholder complaints can use Investor Relations or Computershare. Product-quality or safety matters should remain with Consumer Affairs or the relevant product-quality team. Other disputes may require the legal or compliance channel identified in company policies.
Depending on the product and issue, complaints may fall under agencies such as the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, FTC, or another appropriate regulator. Pet-food complaints can involve FDA or relevant animal-feed authorities, while advertising concerns can involve consumer-protection regulators.
General unresolved consumer matters may be submitted to the relevant state Attorney General or consumer-protection agency. Payment disputes can also be raised with the retailer, card issuer, or payment provider where appropriate.
If a serious dispute remains unresolved after company and regulator channels have been exhausted, review any applicable product terms, governing law, arbitration provisions, statutes of limitation, and available legal remedies. Independent legal advice may be appropriate for significant injury, financial loss, or complex disputes.
