Statement by the Lozano and Bronner Families
March 7, 2025
Both of our families continue to mourn the tragic passing of Denise Lozano. Denise was an employee of Dr. Bronner’s at the time of her death two years ago. She was a cherished employee and treasured member of Dr. Bronner’s community and a beloved daughter, sister, mother, and family member. We hold her and all those who loved her in our hearts.
The Lozano family recently filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Dr. Bronner’s company as well as its CEO and other employees as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that Denise died while receiving a form of ketamine treatment that may have involved other drugs. She received the treatment at her home unrelated to the legal and authorized program Dr. Bronner’s company offers as a mental health benefit.
Dr. Bronner’s Ketamine Assisted Therapy benefit is only provided through a legally authorized third-party administrator, not the “ketamine massage” provider named in the lawsuit. Neither David nor Mia Bronner recommended that Denise receive a ketamine massage. The Lozano and Bronner families have now resolved the legal case amicably, and the lawsuit against the Dr. Bronner’s company, as well as its CEO, and other employees, will be dismissed.
