About $175 million worth of free products will be distributed through MondayJan. 26 or until supplies last. No receipts are needed.

Customers simply need to sign their names to get a gift of one item per person. About 22 products such as body lotions, creams, shower gel and mascara, from companies like Givenchy, Lancome, Coty and Clinique, are involved.

More than a dozen department stores, including Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Gottschalks, Dillard's and Bloomingdale's, are involved in the settlement.
