The Court granted final approval of the Settlement on May 14, 2026.
What is this Settlement about?
This Settlement resolves a class action lawsuit brought against Premier Nutrition over the company’s alleged deceptive advertising practices. Premier Nutrition denies that it did anything wrong. In 2025, both sides agreed to settle to avoid the risk and expense of appeals and further litigation.
What is the current status of the Settlement?
If you received an email or postcard identifying you as a Direct Payment Class Member, you will automatically be paid based on retailer records of the number of Joint Juice® Units you purchased. That payment is your “Direct Payment Award.” You could have also filed a Claim Form for additional purchases not covered by those records.
If you did not receive an email or postcard stating that you are a Direct Payment Class Member, you may be a Claim-In Class Member if you purchased Joint Juice® in New York from December 5, 2013 to December 28, 2021. If you’re a Claim-In Class Member, you must have submitted a Claim Form to receive anything.
On May 14, 2026, the Court granted final approval of the Settlement.
The deadline to file a Claim passed on May 18, 2026.
What benefits does the Settlement provide?
The Settlement provides a Cash Payment to all Direct Payment Class Members, and Claim-In Class Members who filed a timely and valid Claim. It is estimated that the payment to Class Members will be approximately $50 per eligible Joint Juice® Unit.
What fees and expenses will be paid from the Settlement Fund?
Under the Settlement, Premier Nutrition has agreed to pay $19,160,186.47 into a Settlement Fund. The Settlement Fund will be divided evenly based on the number of Joint Juice® eligible units for which valid claims are submitted. The Settlement Fund will also be used to pay for administrative and distribution costs, lawyers’ fees and expenses, and any service awards for the Class Representatives.
Who is included as a Class Member?
The Class is defined as all people who purchased any Joint Juice® product in New York from December 5, 2013 to December 28, 2021, inclusive of those dates.
A separate settlement applies to related class action lawsuits for people who purchased Joint Juice® in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. If you purchased Joint Juice® glucosamine supplements in these states, the Notice does not apply to you.
