Gilbert LLP Applauds Avon Bankruptcy Plan Confirmation

November 10, 2025

Gilbert LLP applauds the recent U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware confirmation of the bankruptcy Plan in In re AIO US, Inc., et al.

Former owners of the iconic Avon cosmetics brand, Avon Products, Inc. and various of its affiliates filed for bankruptcy in 2024, and shortly thereafter retained Gilbert LLP.  At the time of its filing, Avon was facing a significant number of personal injury claims asserted by individuals who alleged they contracted cancer due to their exposure to Avon’s talc-containing cosmetic products.

Over the objection of several insurers, the bankruptcy court confirmed a Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation in September of 2025, and a Liquidation Trust was established to, among other objectives, liquidate Avon’s assets, recover insurance proceeds, and pay out impacted claimants.

During the bankruptcy, Gilbert LLP represented the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, providing counsel and advice to that group on insurance issues and working with key stakeholders to evaluate, preserve, and maximize insurance recoveries for the benefit of injured claimants.

Following the court’s approval of the liquidation Plan, Gilbert LLP was retained as counsel for the Avon Liquidation Trust, using its expertise and experience from the bankruptcy to pursue and maximize the Trust’s insurance assets and implement the plan.

“The Plan is a victory for individuals with talc claims, and we are pleased to have helped achieve this outcome,” said Kami E. Quinn, Chair of Gilbert LLP.
