What is the $4.5M Robitussin Non-Drowsy Class Action?
A $4.5 million class action settlement has been reached over claims that Robitussin cough syrup was falsely marketed as “non-drowsy.” The lawsuit alleges that certain Robitussin products containing dextromethorphan (DXM) were misleadingly advertised. While Haleon and GSK, the companies behind Robitussin, deny the allegations, they have agreed to a settlement to resolve the issue without further litigation.
What is Robitussin and Who Makes It?
Robitussin is an over-the-counter brand of cough and cold medications produced by Pfizer. After Pfizer acquired Wyeth in 2009, it took over the Robitussin brand. In 2022, Pfizer sold its consumer healthcare division to GSK, and Robitussin is now owned by Haleon, following GSK’s spin-off of that division.
The active ingredient in Robitussin is dextromethorphan (DXM), a widely-used cough suppressant found in many cold medications. DXM is generally safe when used correctly but can have psychoactive effects at higher doses, which can lead to misuse.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
The settlement amount is $4.5 million.
Who is Eligible for a Payout?
