The late-night host steered clear of any hard-hitting questions on recent allegations against products from the beauty line of Alba’s company, The Honest Company. He instead opted to chat with the actress about gifts she brought for his wife and products from the company that he uses for his children. The Honest Company has come under fire for its allegedly ineffective sunscreen. It is being sued by a consumer for $5 million for “deceptively and misleadingly” labeling its product. The plaintiff, Jonathan Rubin, has also [claimed](http://www.businessinsider.com/honest-co-lawsuit) that some of the company’s “natural” products contain unnatural ingredients. [Reviews from Amazon customers](http://www.amazon.com/The-Honest-Company-Sunscreen-Lotion/dp/B00L2SZDVU#customerReviews) who have purchased the sunscreen also complain of similar issues. Alba has stated the claims against her company are “baseless and without merit.” ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] Jimmy Fallon had Jessica Alba on The Tonight Show Monday, and asked her some lighthearted questions about her Honest Company beauty line. Are you working too hard? Yeah. You are? Yeah. I want you to enjoy yourself. Because it's, honestly, I'm so happy for you. Oh, thank you. But [ INAUDIBLE ]. Again, I love [ UNKNOWN ], but I love your kids. They're so cute. Jessica even brought a few samples along for Jimmy's wife. He revealed he also uses some of the company's products including it's diapers for his children, but in case you've forgotten, the Honest Company made headlines recently for its controversial sunscreen which even led to a lawsuit. We have to admit, we were bit surprised Jimmy avoided questions about the lawsuit entirely, instead opting for a softer approach. See, the Honest Company is being sued for $ 5 million by a consumer for deceptively and misleadingly labeling its products. Plaintiff Jonathan Rubin claims some of the companies products, which are advertised as natural, contain unnatural Ingredients. He also says the company's sunscreen is ineffective. And according to reviews posted on Amazon, customers seem to agree. Some of the reviews say the sunscreen flat out doesn't work. It was like we used baby oil! We were all extremely sunburned! Alba continues to maintain the claims against her products are baseless and without merit. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4034757/jimmy-fallon-jessica-alba-honest-company-lawsuit/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4034757/jimmy-fallon-jessica-alba-honest-company-lawsuit/"},"headline":"Jimmy Fallon Fails to Give Jessica Alba an Honest Grilling Over Her Company's Lawsuit","datePublished":"2015-09-15T17:55:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:32:25.227Z","description":"That's what you call a soft approach","url":"https://time.com/4034757/jimmy-fallon-jessica-alba-honest-company-lawsuit/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","jessica alba","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta85b4cdcde2d15b0/698863aee20a87c109a8d3bc/jessica-alba-jimmy-fallon-2015.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta85b4cdcde2d15b0/698863aee20a87c109a8d3bc/jessica-alba-jimmy-fallon-2015.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 2","caption":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 2","creditText":"NBC/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4034757/jimmy-fallon-jessica-alba-honest-company-lawsuit/","name":"Jimmy Fallon Fails to Give Jessica Alba an Honest Grilling Over Her Company's Lawsuit"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Late Night Highlight: Jimmy Fallon Didn't Ask Jessica Alba About Company Lawsuit","description":"Jimmy Fallon asked Jessica Alba a few questions about her company, The Honest Company, but none of them were about the lawsuit.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/5GBXQa5e/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-09-15T07:34:46.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/5GBXQa5e.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4034757/jimmy-fallon-jessica-alba-honest-company-lawsuit/","duration":"PT1M12S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4034757/jimmy-fallon-jessica-alba-honest-company-lawsuit/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
