What happened

The consolidated lawsuits, Bland v. Premier Nutrition Corporation and Sonner v. Premier Nutrition Company, LLC, allege that Premier Nutrition falsely advertised the joint health benefits of its Joint Juice glucosamine supplements. The complaints claim consumers in eight states paid a price premium for products that did not deliver the promised joint health results.

Premier Nutrition denies that it did anything wrong. The Court has not decided the case in favor of either side. In 2025, both sides agreed to settle to avoid the risk and expense of continued litigation and appeals, and the Court granted preliminary approval on January 8, 2026.

Common questions

How much money will I receive?

Payments are estimated at $10 per Unit for products like 6-packs of ready-to-drink bottles, Drops, On The Go powder 7-packs, and Extra Strength ready-to-drink 6-packs. Payments are estimated at $25 per Unit for larger or premium products including 30-pack ready-to-drink, Easy Shot 1-liter bottles, Extra Strength Easy Shot, Extra Strength ready-to-drink 24-packs, and On The Go 30-packs. Actual payments may be adjusted up or down depending on claim volume and other factors set in the Settlement Agreement.

Do I need proof of purchase?

No proof is required for up to 6 Units. If you want payment for more than 6 Units, you must submit receipts, order confirmations, or retailer account history for each additional Unit. If you received an email or postcard identifying you as a Direct Payment Class Member, your payment is automatic based on retailer records.

What if I didn’t receive a notice?

You can still be a Class Member and file a claim even if you did not receive a direct notice. If you purchased Joint Juice in one of the eight covered states during the applicable class period and did not get a Direct Payment email or postcard, you are likely a Claim-In Class Member and must submit a Claim Form to receive payment. Visit JointJuiceSettlement.com or call 1-888-921-0720 for help.

Does staying in the class affect my right to sue later?

Yes. Unless you timely opted out by the April 6, 2026 deadline, you are bound by the Settlement and release your claims against Premier Nutrition relating to the allegations in the lawsuits. That means you cannot sue Premier Nutrition separately for the same issues. The full release terms are in Section II.I of the Settlement Agreement at JointJuiceSettlement.com.

When will payments be sent out?

The Court will hold the final approval hearing on May 5, 2026. Even if the Court approves the Settlement, there may be appeals that delay payment, sometimes by a year or more. No payments will be issued until all appeals are resolved. Check JointJuiceSettlement.com for updates.
