What is This Settlement About?
A $1,000,000 class action settlement has been reached regarding Doctor’s Best glucosamine products, including:
- Doctor’s Best Glucosamine Sulfate 750mg
- Vegan Glucosamine Sulfate 750mg
- Synergistic Glucosamine MSM
- Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM
- Vegan Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM
- Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM + Hyaluronic Acid
The lawsuit alleged that Doctor’s Best misrepresented their products as containing glucosamine sulfate, while they actually contained glucosamine hydrochloride and potassium sulfate. Although Doctor’s Best has settled, they have not admitted to any wrongdoing. The settlement fund allows consumers to claim up to five bottles at $5 each, with no proof of purchase required, capped at $25 per household. If claimants can provide proof of purchase, they are eligible for a 60% refund on the purchase price (excluding taxes and fees) for up to 12 products per household.
Glucosamine is commonly found in supplements marketed for joint health, aimed at alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and improving mobility. These supplements typically do not require FDA approval before being sold.
