A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Walgreen Co., Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Supervalu Inc., and Perrigo Company of South Carolina Inc., alleging that certain statements on the packaging of some of their glucosamine supplements were false, deceptive and/or misleading. If you purchased certain glucosamine products between Nov. 1, 2005 and Aug. 1, 2014, you could be eligible for compensation from the Perrigo class action settlement.
Specifically, the Perrigo class action lawsuit alleges that products containing glucosamine and/or chondroitin were represented as formulated to help “rebuild cartilage,” “lubricate joints,” and “improve joint comfort” when they do not actually provide these benefits. The plaintiffs claim that these representations are unlawful under the consumer protection laws and that the purchasers of these products are entitled to compensation.
The defendants deny the allegations but agreed to settle the glucosamine class action lawsuit to avoid the risk, expense and distraction of continued litigation.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the Perrigo glucosamine class action settlement include all U.S. residents who purchased for personal use, and not resale or distribution, a Covered Product between Nov. 1, 2005 and Aug. 1, 2014. A list of Covered Products is available here.
Potential Award
$12 per bottle, up to a maximum of eight bottles per household, to Class Members who do not submit proof of purchase.
Class Members who submit valid Claim Forms accompanied by a cash register receipt evidencing their purchase of a Covered Product manufactured by Perrigo and/or its affiliates will be entitled to receive a full refund for the actual price of each product purchased.
The actual amount each Class Member will receive depends on the total number of valid claims submitted, and may be adjusted up or down in order to fully distribute the class action settlement funds to all Class Members who submit valid claims.
Proof of Purchase
None required. However, Class Members who do not provide proof of purchase will be limited to an award of $12 per bottle, up to a maximum of eight bottles per household. Class Members who submit receipts with their Claim Forms may be entitled to full refunds of all Covered Products purchased.

Hey Paul, you were told Checks mailed on May 7th?
I received this email from GCC:The Claim Form you submitted in the Perrigo Glucosamine Settlement has been reviewed in its entirety pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement. We have determined that your claim is deficient because you indicated that you have receipts for your purchase of Covered Products, but you have not provided any. Please provide documentation in the form of cash register receipts to substantiate your claim. If you do not provide receipts, we will treat these bottles as not documented and you will be eligible to claim only $12.00 per bottle, up to a maximum of eight bottles per household. Please note the actual amount paid to each Class Member will depend on the total number of valid claims received; and if the total value of eligible claims exceed the funds in the Net Settlement Fund, then distributions will be made on a pro rata basis.
Please be advised that to the extent your claim exceeds 8 bottles of Covered Products per household, your claim will be rejected.
No further action is required if you agree with our determinations and/or do not wish to fix your claim. To fix or otherwise complete your claim, you must email or mail the required documentation using the contact information below, by April 23, 2015. You must also include a copy of this email with any response and reference your claim number on all correspondence and documentation. This is the only notice you will receive for this claim. Please do not reply to this email, as your reply will not be processed. If you have any questions, you can email us at Info@PerrigoGlucosamineSettlement.com or call us toll-free at (844) 322-8236.
