Relacore class action settlement

Carter-Reed Company LLC and other defendants have agreed to settle a class action lawsuit related to allegedly misleading labeling and advertising of Relacore products. If you purchased Relacore products since Jan. 1, 2000, you may be entitled to a cash payment from the class action settlement.

The Relacore class action lawsuit alleged the defendants made false and misleading statements in their advertising and labeling of Relacore products, in violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and other laws.

Relacore was marketed as a belly-fat reduction and weight loss supplement that reduced anxiety and improved mood.  However, according to the Relacore class action lawsuit, there is no scientific proof that the product has the advertised benefits.

The defendants deny any wrongdoing but agreed to settle the Relacore class action lawsuit to avoid the expense and risk of trial.

Who’s Eligible

You are a Class Member of the Relacore settlement if you purchased Relacore, Relacore Extra, Relacore PM and/or the Relacore System in the United States for personal use (not for resale) between Jan. 1, 2000 and Nov. 10, 2014.

Potential Award

Up to $28.

Class Members who submit valid and timely claims will be eligible to receive $14 per bottle purchased during the Class Period, up to a maximum of two bottles per household.

Proof of Purchase

None required. However, Class Members who do not provide a valid receipt or credit card statement showing that they purchased the Relacore products during the Class Period must provide a declaration saying, under the penalty of perjury, that they purchased the Relacore products.

    The lawyers are trying to weed out liars. This is a ploy. If you filled out the online claim form with no issues, why would the lawyers send out letters telling folks to do it again? They are comparing what you write. Plain and simple. You mentioned human error, if you are telling the truth then there would be no human error. All I am saying, is if you do not remember what you wrote on the online claim form, then do not fill out the letter and send it back because your answers will not match, you will not be paid, and then you will blacklisted from filing any other claim with that particular law firm. I guarantee you, in the next few months, many of you will be posting how you received an additional letter accusing you of lying and being blacklisted. Watch and see.

  2. rookie says:

    I have a print out of my original submission. I think they only asked for which state you bought it in and not the store. I agree this thing sounds fishy, they are just creating extra burden for us

    1. anthoney says:

      Rookie, I still have my letter cause I have not mailed it back yet, but they DO want the store name and how many bottles you bought

      1. rookie says:

        what I was saying was that they did not ask for the store during the online submission. they are only asking it now via the letter

  3. Morty says:

    I think Scott is just trying to scare people. Either he is working for Relacore and would like to see some people not follow through and collect a payment; or he is hoping for a larger check for himself. I really cannot see them pulling in people because they have slightly different answers on each form. To err is human and they know that. I think there are people who visit this website who get their kicks putting up threats and passive aggressive messages thinking they are being so coy and feared. He is probably some feeble minded dope sitting in his grandmas trailer making up stuff in his head. Send the letter back in and don’t miss your payment.

      Wrong Morty. I am not a feeble minded dope, I am telling truth. The lawyers are trying to weed out liars. This is a ploy. If you filled out the online claim form with no issues, why would the lawyers send out letters telling folks to do it again? They are comparing what you write. Plain and simple. You mentioned human error, if you are telling the truth then there would be no human error. All I am saying, is if you do not remember what you wrote on the online claim form, then do not fill out the letter and send it back because your answers will not match, you will not be paid, and then you will blacklisted from filing any other claim with that particular law firm.

    IM NOT SURE ABOUT BIG TROUBLE….i KNOW PEOPLE BOUGHT THIS STUFF YEARS AGO AND ALOT OF US JUST PUT SOMETHING TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE,HELL IT WAS YEARS AGO. AS LONG AS YOU BOUGHT SOME AND YOU PUT THE BEST ANSWER DOWN WHETHER ITS THE SAME OR NOT I THINK THEY STILL WILL PROCEED. ALOT OF US ARE OLDER AND BARLEY REMEMBER YESTERDAY BUT DID THE BEST THEY CAN. JUST FILL IT OUT AND RETURN IT,HELL ITS 28 BUCKS AND IF YOU BOUGHT IT DONT WORRY……

  5. Scott says:

    Received a letter as well. They want to compare what you write on the letter to what you wrote on your online claim. So, if you dont remember what you put on your online claim form then do NOT fill out the letter and send it back. If they see inaccuracies between the 2, you will be in big trouble because you signed it.

  6. Chris says:

    I received the same letter today. I’d like to take the time and request delivery confirmation with their signature. Or possibly send it with not enough postage so than they have to pay. Or scan it in and fill it out with a 5 font so have to use a magnifying glass to read it. We could all call the number on the form asking to speak with the lawyers just to check in and verify their data is correct. Or I could just shut up, sign it and pay the extra postage. We should call them asking if we can file a class action against their law firm for the added cost of postage? Or again I could just shut up. It’s definitely their way to week out fraud or lazy people.

  7. christine says:

    im gonna sign it and mail it…this is so lame…

  8. Lori Golden says:

    Got the same letter so I came here to see what was up. I guess I will fill it out and send it in. What a waste of time

  9. Robert Fistche says:

    I received a questionnaire in NY. Filled it out, signed it, and mailed it back. Give me my $28.

  10. Morty says:

    Roger, you are correct. More money in the lawyers pocket, because they know a lot of people don’t have stamps readily available and will just say the hell with it and not fill out the form.

    1. sassyfox07@yahoo.com says:

      I got the same letter and for the life of me can not recall where I bought it from! I want to say Walmart, but did a lot of CVS and Kerr drug a couple of years ago! If Id known to write this down, Id have done so!
