Employee misclassification
More than once, Avon has been sued by employees for misclassifying them as independent contractors. In the 2019 suit Rogel et al. v. Avon Products, Inc. et al., the suit alleges that Avon classified some of its employees as independent contractors. "[T]hese workers were designated by Avon as independent contractors when they should have instead been considered bona fide employees and entitled to the workplace protections afforded to such."

Nelson brought Nelson v. Avon Prods., Inc. to court with a class action suit with similar allegations.

Previously, Avon faced another class action suit Morrow v. Avon Products, Inc. which was settled for $800,000.

Gender Discrimination
Ruiz brought suit against Avon for discriminating against pregnant employees. Ruiz, et al. v. New Avon LLC, et al. claimed that employees were penalized during and after their pregnancies.
