Reckitt Benckiser has agreed to a $53 million settlement in a class action lawsuit that accused the company of falsely advertising its Schiff Move Free supplements.
Class Members will be able to claim up to $66 in cash or up to $225 in products without proof of purchase.
Plaintiffs Gordon Yamagata and Stamatis Pelardis had alleged Reckitt Benckiser advertised its Schiff Move Free Advanced dietary supplements as a treatment for joint pain and stiffness, when in reality the supplement does not relieve those symptoms.
The Class includes anyone who purchased, within the United States and its territories, Move Free Advanced, Move Free Advanced Plus MSM, or Move Free Advanced Plus MSM & Vitamin D, other than solely for purposes of resale, from May 28, 2015, to the date of the Preliminary Approval Order.
A hearing in the case will be held March 25, 2021.
Under the terms of the settlement, without proof of purchase, Class Members will be eligible to receive cash refunds of up to three purchases of Move Free Advanced at $22 per purchase (for a maximum payout of $66), or up to $225 worth of various consumer products of their choosing, at $75 per purchase, valued at wholesale and packed and shipped at Reckitt Benckiser’s expense.
Class Members who submit proof of purchase will be able to receive refunds for all their purchases.
If all the money in the fund isn’t claimed, the refund amounts will be increased by up to three times the amount claimed — $198 in cash or $675 in products at wholesale value. However, if there are too many claims, recovery amounts could be reduced.

Been taking the Move Free joint health for a couple of years now. Didn’t really notice much of a difference if I took it or not
