A federal court has preliminarily approved a $1.4 million class action lawsuit settlement between Humphreys Pharmacal and consumers who allege they were duped into purchasing the company’s homeopathic remedies based on misleading and confusing claims about their efficacy and ingredients.

I loved humpherys teething pellets. I need them to come back now! Used them on my other 3 kids now I can’t on the 4th one . I don’t want to try another brand I trusted this one . My 9 month old is the worst teether yet and stupid people just want what 10 dollars give me a break . I loved these pellets for my kids I’d gladly pay 20 for a bottle I’ll swear by them.
These are discontinued, just tried to order from everywhere and you can’t!
I was not aware of this lawsuit. I’ve always relied on Humphreys for my kids and grandkids. My mother swore by them and used the teething pellets on us! That’s how I learned about them they do work. I even used the ones for adult remedies and they also work. I hope they’re able to settle this mess and put them back in the market. I’ve been searching for them and found a similar product from Hyland which contain the same ingredients. This product can be found at Target! Walgreens and other similar stores
Excelente producto. Los use con mis hijos y nietos. Espero los vendan otra vez .
Es una lástima que no los estén vendiendo. Pues si funcionan. Los use con mis hijos y nietos. Espero los vuelvan a vender.
I came across this because I have not been able to find the Humphreys teething tablets anywhere. I have 4 kids and this was the only product that worked for my teething infants. Unfortunately now they are not available and my poor 6 month old has to take Tylenol a lot more than I would like to give him to help him with his teething pain. I hate having to give Tylenol or any pain reliever to my baby unless absolutely necessary. The Humphreys really worked and they were natural which is way better than Tylenol. If anyone knows where or if I can find these now please let me know!
This is ridiculous; like in any lawsuit the Lawyer is the real winner… I ended up in this page while searching for what had happen to my best friend and beloved Humphrey teething tablets; the best product to make sure my baby and I had a great nigh sleep – but I guess they fell victims of another layer and I bet a non-sense lawsuit… this is one of the reason our country is like it is; ambulance chaser looking for a quick buck and we all end up paying for it…
I agee my family has been using it for generations, and have been very successful with it. All different ways. It really works….
That is the truth. They needed a reason to get this product off the shelves because it wasn’t pumped up with chemical ingredients like all these other OTC products put out by big pharmaceutical companies. The government is just pushing for chemical/lab manufacturered everything. Disgusting how this world is killing us all off slowly. and I can’t believe people are more interested in their measly checks than getting a great product back on the shelves. I won’t cash in on all the purchases I’ve made from the last 3 years. The company did nothing wrong but sell an awesome product THAT I SO DESPERATELY NEED AGAIN. The teething pellets really were the best stuff.
I love Humphrey’s…their teething strips were the only thing that worked for my daughter! I HOPE they go back into production at some point.
