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.

please add me to this class action lawsuit thank you
The Move Free Advanced Ultra 2-in-1 has helped my knees tremendously!
They were A LOT more than $22 a bottle! I’ve given this to my mother for years. It seemed at 1st to help, but then not so much. Did it change ingredients? Is that why there’s a lawsuit. If they’re still selling them, have the ingredients changed? Just disgusting that these companies are getting very very wealthy taking advantage of people’s desperation to relieve pain. I will no longer purchase ANYTHING from Shiff and it’s subsidiaries. WHAT ELSE have they outright LIED about?? Shameful.
I have been taking for years. But started noticing approx. Year ago that it wasn’t working any more. I’m thoroughly disgusted by a company that I vouched for many times over the years when trying to help someone. I can’t figure how to get proof I’ve bought all of these times over years. This is disgusting.
Informed delivery shows this today. Anyone else get anything?
Mine is coming today too
