Jasmine W. Wetherell

Jasmine Wetherell maintains an active civil litigation practice centered on the defense of consumer protection and false advertising class actions. She is highly experienced in defending claims brought under California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law, and False Advertising Law, as well as analogous statutes in other jurisdictions. Jasmine’s litigation successes span a range of dispositive arguments, including challenges to Article III and statutory standing, the reasonable consumer standard, failure to allege cognizable damages, and federal preemption. She uses this experience to provide practical prelitigation counseling and help clients evaluate marketing and labeling decisions before disputes arise, with a focus on class-action risk.  

Jasmine has significant experience advising clients on California Proposition 65 matters, including compliance strategy and litigation defense. She combines hands-on litigation knowledge with sophisticated counseling on Proposition 65 exposure assessments, safe harbor thresholds, and reformulation options. 

Jasmine also advises clients on regulatory issues that are critical to consumer goods companies. She advises on FTC marketing compliance, including substantiation requirements and evolving enforcement priorities related to health claims, influencer endorsements, and environmental marketing, helping clients reduce the risk of investigation or enforcement action. Jasmine also counsels on Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations, including children's product analyses under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. She brings a deep understanding of chemical management, supporting clients in assessing and addressing obligations under federal and state frameworks governing chemical substances in consumer products. 

A frequent speaker and author on consumer product law topics, Jasmine has presented for organizations including the American Conference Institute, the Personal Care Products Council, and the Consumer Brands Association. She is also an adjunct instructor at UCLA School of Law, where she teaches Food Litigation: Consumer Protection, Regulation, and Class Actions.
