Details: The  Wrigley Eclipse® gum class action lawsuit centers around the fact that Wrigley used to state that their Eclipse Gum falsely advertised the “germ kill” benefits of its Eclipse gum and mints branded products with Magnolia Bark Extract in the United States as of June 1, 2008. Eclipse® gum and mints were sold with the “germ kill” message nationwide beginning in June 1, 2008.

There are two different claim options ($5 and $10) in the Wrigley Eclipse gum class action lawsuit settlement. Claimants may recover up to $10.00 by submitting a Claim Form and signing the following affirmation under penalty of perjury: “I affirm that I purchased the listed Wrigley Eclipse gum or mints in packaging with a ‘NATURAL GERM KILLING’ message in the United States.” The actual amount paid to individual Wrigley Eclipse Gum Claimants will depend upon the number of valid claims made. For each claim made for a subject purchase or purchases, the Claimant will be requested to include in the claim, the Product purchased (gum or mints), the approximate dates of purchases (month and year), the approximate dollar amount spent, and the locations of purchases (store, city, and state).

In addition, Wrigley Gum had to change how they market Eclipse Gum as part of the class action lawsuit settlement agreement. By December 31, 2010 or within 90 days of the Effective Date, whichever comes later, and for a period of three (3) years from the Effective Date, Wrigley shall refrain from using in its advertising, and manufacturing further Eclipse Gum products labeled with, the “germ kill” messages challenged in the complaint filed in the Litigation. In addition, Wrigley, will cease to include the Magnolia Bark Extract (“MBE”) ingredient in Eclipse gum, will discontinue use of all “germ kill” messages in Eclipse gum advertising and labeling. As used here, advertising includes the packaging of the Product and any type of advertisement or promotion on radio, television, the Internet, newspapers, periodicals, point of purchase displays and all other media. Obviously this settlement had a much bigger impact other than the cash. Did you buy Eclipse Gum? If so, head over to www.EclipseSettlement.com and submit your claim now!
