Premier Nutrition agreed to two class action lawsuit settlements totaling approximately $90 million to resolve claims that it deceptively advertised the joint health benefits of its Joint Juice glucosamine supplements.
The class action lawsuit settlements benefit consumers who purchased Joint Juice products during different time periods and in different states. A New York class covers consumers who purchased any Joint Juice product in New York between Dec. 5, 2013, and Dec. 28, 2021. A separate multi-state class covers consumers who purchased Joint Juice products in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan or Pennsylvania between March 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2022.
The New York settlement is valued at $19.16 million and the multi-state settlement is valued at $70,839,813.53, with the total settlement equaling $89,999,813.53.
According to the Premier Nutrition class action lawsuit, the company falsely advertised Joint Juice glucosamine supplements as products that could support joint health. According to the plaintiffs, these representations were misleading and not supported by reliable scientific evidence.
Joint Juice glucosamine supplements were sold by Premier Nutrition, a company that sells a variety of nutritional products. Joint Juice products are marketed in several forms, including ready-to-drink beverages, easy shots and powder mixes.
Premier Nutrition has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlements to resolve the false advertising class action lawsuits.
Under the terms of both Joint Juice settlements, class members can receive cash payments based on the number of units purchased. For both settlements, class members who purchased six or fewer units generally do not need to provide proof of purchase. Those who purchased more than six units must provide proof of purchase, such as receipts, order confirmations or retailer account histories.
Payment amounts differ between the classes. New York class members are estimated to receive approximately $50 per Joint Juice unit purchased, though actual payments may be higher or lower depending on the number of valid claims submitted.
In the multi-state class, class members who purchased up to six units without proof of purchase can receive between $10 and $25 per unit, depending on the product purchased, while those with proof of purchase or more than six units may receive higher payments.
For both settlements, payments will vary depending on participation. Any funds remaining after distribution will be donated to the Rheumatology Research Foundation.
The deadline for exclusion and objection for both settlements is April 6, 2026.
The final approval hearing for the New York subclass settlement is scheduled for April 30, 2026, while the final approval hearing for the multi-state settlement is scheduled for May 5, 2026.
To receive a settlement payment, class members in either settlement must submit a valid claim form by May 15, 2026.
