Acella agreed to a $41.4 million NP Thyroid settlement to resolve claims it falsely advertised the thyroid medication as containing a specified amount of the active ingredient.
The settlement benefits individuals who received a dispensed prescription for NP Thyroid between May 12, 2018, and April 30, 2021, whether Acella recalled the NP Thyroid lots or not.
According to the false advertising class action lawsuit, Acellaโs NP Thyroid had an inconsistent amount of the active ingredient. Some batches of the medication allegedly contained too much of the active ingredient while other batches contained too little, making the medication ineffective or unsafe.
Acella manufactures NP Thyroid, a thyroid medication that treats hypothyroidism.
Acella hasnโt admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay more than $41.4 million to resolve the class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the NP Thyroid settlement, class members can receive up to $10 without any documentation of the prescriptions they received. With additional documentation, class members can collect up to $50 for the prescriptions they received.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is April 22, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the settlement was scheduled for May 14, 2024.
To receive NP Thyroid settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Nov. 30, 2024.

20 thoughts onNP Thyroid false ad $41.4M class action settlement
$50? 4 years on the medication? Add me but that needs to be changed.
Iโve taken Armour thyroid meds for almost 20 yrs. & now, Medicare does not cover it; nor, do health ins. companiesโunless you pay a large amount out-of-pocket. $179 for a 3-month supply. It was recommended that I take NP & I said, โNo Wayโ!
I have taken this medicine for years and no doctor has ever said the meds could be the cause.. I thought I was going crazy. Please add me. I had to close my business down because I didnโt have the energy to get out of bed most days.
Iโve been taking NP thyroid for 4 years. No wonder it does nothing.
I have taken this medication for years, no wonder I feel off and on.
