Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks and gift cards in the mail from a class action settlement that accused the maker of BetterBody Extra Virgin Coconut Oil of using misleading label claims.
According to comments and posts on the Top Class Actions Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the BetterBody class action settlement began receiving gift cards worth as much as $5.46 and checks worth as much as $467.28 on April 10, 2017.
If you filed a claim for the BetterBody settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!
The class action settlement resolves allegations that BetterBody Food & Nutrition LLC made misleading statements on its Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and Naturally Refined Coconut Oil that would lead consumers to believe the products are healthier than they actually are.
A class action lawsuit challenged the following label claims:
- “One of the healthiest oils in the world”
- “A Healthy Alternative to Butter & Cooking Oil”
- “Zero Transfat”
- “Full of MCTs, aka good fats, coconut oil is an immediate source of energy”
- “cholesterol free”
BetterBody agreed to pay $1 million to Class Members as well as remove the label claims challenged in this class action lawsuit.
Class Members included “All persons who, between January 1, 2013 and November 18, 2016, purchased, for personal or household use, and not for resale or distribution purposes, BetterBody’s Extra Virgin Coconut Oil or Refined Coconut Oil.”
The deadline to file a claim for the BetterBody Coconut Oil class action settlement passed on Jan. 20, 2017.

Nothing here yet..
does anybody know when the last day to redeem the checks?
Should say on check ???
I still have not received my check only gift card payment I ended up finding out they sent original check to my old address from 3 years ago even though i put correct address on claim form! Then they canceled check and reissued a new check to my correct address and it’s going on 2 weeks and still havnt gotten replaced check it looks like there gonna have to reissue a check for the 3rd time now that’s ridiculous!!!
