Joint Juice $90 Million Settlement: Claim Up to $50 Per Unit by May 15, 2026

If you bought Joint Juice glucosamine supplements in any of nine eligible states between 2009 and 2022, you may qualify to claim between $10 and $50 per unit from a combined $90 million class action settlement — the largest open consumer settlement of May 2026. Two related cases are running in parallel: a $70.84 million multi-state settlement covering eight states, and a $19.16 million New York settlement. The deadline to file a claim in either is May 15, 2026.

Premier Nutrition Corporation, the maker of Joint Juice, agreed to the combined $90 million settlement to resolve allegations that it falsely advertised the joint health benefits of its glucosamine drinks despite scientific evidence that, plaintiffs argued, did not support those claims. Premier denies wrongdoing. The multi-state settlement received preliminary approval on January 8, 2026, and the New York settlement received preliminary approval on December 5, 2025.

Two Settlements, One Product Line — Know Which One Applies

This is one product line resolved through two related class actions in different courts. Where you bought Joint Juice determines which settlement applies — you cannot file under both.

Multi-state settlement (Bland v. Premier Nutrition Corporation) — covers purchases in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The fund is $70,839,813.53. Estimated payments are $10 or $25 per unit, depending on the product type. The case is pending in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda.

New York settlement (Montera v. Premier Nutrition Corporation) — covers purchases in New York between December 5, 2013, and December 28, 2021. The fund is $19,160,186.47. Estimated payments are approximately $50 per unit. The case is in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (federal jurisdiction was retained because the case was originally filed there).

If you bought Joint Juice in New York, file under the New York settlement. If you bought in any of the other eight covered states, file under the multi-state settlement.

Who Qualifies for the Multi-State Settlement

You qualify if you purchased any Joint Juice product for personal or household consumption in any of the eight covered states during the applicable class period. The class periods vary by state, but all end December 31, 2022:

Who Qualifies for the New York Settlement

You qualify if you purchased any Joint Juice product for personal or household consumption in New York between December 5, 2013, and December 28, 2021. This is a narrower window than the multi-state settlement and reflects the specific litigation history of the New York case, which went to a jury trial before settlement.

What You Can Receive

The amount depends on which settlement applies, which products you purchased, and whether you have proof of purchase.

Multi-state settlement — payments are $10 per unit for certain products (six-pack ready-to-drink bottles, drops, six-pack extra strength products, seven-pack On The Go! products) and $25 per unit for larger or concentrated products (30-pack bottles, Easy Shot 1-liters, 24-pack extra strength products, 30-pack On The Go! products). You can claim up to 6 units without any proof of purchase. To claim more than 6 units, submit receipts or order confirmations as proof for each additional unit.

New York settlement — estimated payment of approximately $50 per unit, regardless of product type. Class members can receive up to $300 (six units) without proof. Receipts or other proof of purchase are required for claims beyond six units, with each additional unit also paying approximately $50.

Some class members were identified through retailer records and will be paid automatically as "Direct Payment Class Members" without needing to file. If you received an email or postcard identifying you as a Direct Payment Class Member, you do not need to take action — but you can still file a Claim Form to report additional purchases not captured in retailer records.

Why This Settlement Exists

The lawsuits, including Bland v. Premier Nutrition Corporation (multi-state) and Montera v. Premier Nutrition Corporation (New York), alleged that Premier Nutrition deceptively advertised Joint Juice products as scientifically supported for joint health, mobility, and flexibility. Plaintiffs argued that the glucosamine concentrations in Joint Juice products did not deliver the joint health benefits the marketing promised, and that consumers paid a price premium for products that did not perform as advertised.

Premier Nutrition denies these allegations. The court has not made any finding that Premier did anything wrong. Both settlements were reached after years of litigation, including a jury trial in the New York case in which the jury found for the plaintiffs but the parties settled before all post-trial motions and appeals were resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will I receive from the Joint Juice settlement?

Multi-state class members receive $10 or $25 per unit, depending on the product. New York class members receive approximately $50 per unit. Payments may be adjusted pro rata after court-approved deductions.

Can I file under both settlements?

No. If you bought Joint Juice in New York, you file under the New York settlement. If you bought in any of the other eight covered states, you file under the multi-state settlement. Filing under both for the same purchases would be improper.

I don't have any receipts. Can I still claim?

Yes. Both settlements allow claims of up to 6 units without proof of purchase. To claim more than 6 units in either settlement, you must submit documentation of the additional purchases.

What if I bought Joint Juice in a state not on the list?

You are not eligible. The multi-state settlement covers California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The New York settlement covers New York. Purchases in other states are not covered.

What is a "Direct Payment Class Member"?

If retailer records identified you as a class member, the settlement administrator may have already calculated your purchases and will pay you automatically without requiring a claim form. Direct Payment Class Members typically received an email or postcard explaining their automatic payment. You can still file a Claim Form to report additional purchases not captured in those records.

Why is the New York settlement separate from the multi-state settlement?

The New York case (Montera v. Premier Nutrition) was filed earlier and went to a jury trial before settlement. The plaintiffs won at trial but appeals were pending when the parties agreed to settle. The multi-state case (Bland v. Premier Nutrition) was filed in California state court and resolved through settlement before trial. The two cases were litigated separately, so the settlements are structured separately — but they were negotiated together and announced together.

What is glucosamine and why was it the focus of the lawsuit?

Glucosamine is a compound found naturally in cartilage. It is widely sold as a dietary supplement marketed for joint health. The lawsuits alleged that the joint health claims on Joint Juice packaging were not adequately supported by scientific evidence, and that consumers were misled into paying premium prices based on those claims.

When will I actually receive my payment?

Payments will be distributed after both settlements receive final approval (April 30, 2026, for New York and May 5, 2026, for multi-state) and any appeals are resolved. Appeals can extend the timeline by a year or more.

What if I miss the May 15 deadline?

If you miss the deadline, you cannot file a claim or receive a payment. Class members who do not opt out are bound by the settlements and release their right to sue Premier Nutrition individually for the same alleged conduct.

Where can I get more information?

The official settlement website is JointJuiceSettlement.com. The settlement administrator can be reached at 1-888-921-0720.
