A California federal judge has granted final approval to a $1 million class action lawsuit settlement involving claims that certain homeopathic products sold by Heel Inc. were deceptively marketed. Consumers who purchased the products and submitted a valid claim for the Heel class action settlement will receive cash awards ranging from $25 to $150 by the end of July 2014, according to the Settlement Administrator.
The Mason v. Heel settlement resolves allegations that certain Heel homeopathic products were sold with misleading statements, including that they were “natural,” “clinically proven,” and “doctor recommended.” The company has vigorously denied the allegations but agreed to the Heel class action settlement last August. A federal judge preliminarily approved the deal three months later, and granted final approval on March 13, 2014.
Class Members included all U.S. consumers who purchased one or more Heel homeopathic products included in this list of dozens of eligible products between Dec. 21, 2008 and Feb. 5, 2014. The products included but were not limited to:
- Heel Traumeel
- Heel Detox Kit
- Heel Zeel
- Heel Luffeel
- Heel Allergy
- Heel Sinus
- Heel Cold
- Heel Cocculus
- Heel Arthritis
Class Members with proof of purchase could claim $25 per product purchased, up to a maximum refund of $150. Those without proof of purchase could claim up to $100.
The deadline to file a claim for the Heel class action settlement was June 11, 2014. Settlement awards will distributed in late July, according to an update to the Settlement Administrator website www.HeelClassActionSettlement.com.

RECEIVED A CHECK IN ARKANSAS 45.24
Chk arrived today in MO dated 11/06/14 from CHECKISSUING.COM in Littleton, CO 45.xx
Thank you. I’ll call tomorrow.
These guys are bullshiting us!!! It’s Nov. 8th and nobody’s received a check yet!!! There’s got to be something we can do about this
Carla, the only way to make the administrator get its act together is to use the class lawyer. Everyone should give him a call asking why the administrator hasn’t released the payment yet, and demanding he enforce the settlement agreement. I just did exactly that. Here’s his info:
Law Offices of Ronald A. Marron, APLC
651 Arroyo Drive
San Diego, California 92103
Telephone: 1.619.696.9006
Remember, Mr. Marron is OUR lawyer in this case. He is getting paid to go to bat for us, so let’s make sure he earns his chunk of the settlement!
Everyone, it turns out that the administrator for the settlement is also the owner of the Class Action Rebates site. All this time they were just pretending that they didn’t know anything about it, but they got found. Now they are deleting all the comments and blocking people calling them out on their FB page. I guess they are ashamed and trying to cover their tracks!
Here’s the proof:

(Look under case summary)
“By way of disclosure, my company is administering this fund. Note that opinions expressed on this website are my personal opinion and are not provided in my professional capacity of administrator of this fund, and should not be thought of as having any legal or official significance.”
If you can, stop by their FB page (search for classactionrebates) and tell them to just tell us the truth!
Well guys, either the “checks in the mail” ha ha, or they don’t have the guts to change their website date again.
