The court-authorized website for the New York and multi-state Joint Juice settlements can be found at JointJuiceSettlement.com.
According to the settlement website, New York Joint Juice class members whose identities and purchase histories can readily be ascertained based on retailer records (i.e., “Identified Class Members”) do not need to do anything to receive an automatic, one-time cash payment of $50 for each unit of Joint Juice purchased. Consumers who received an email or postcard identifying them as a “direct payment class member” will automatically be paid from the deal, the website says.
New York Joint Juice settlement class members who submit a timely, valid claim form with no proof of purchase can receive a $50 cash payment per product purchased, for up to six Joint Juice units, the settlement site says. Consumers who submit a claim for reimbursement for more than six Joint Juice product units must provide proof of purchase with their claim form, and can receive $50 per unit purchased, the site states.
Multi-state Joint Juice settlement class members also have a few options for reimbursement, though the details are significantly different than those of the New York settlement.
Per the settlement website, multi-state class members who received an email or postcard identifying them as a “direct payment class member” do not need to do anything to receive an automatic one-time cash payment of $10 per unit for each purchase of any of the following Joint Juice supplements:
- Joint Juice Ready-to-Drink (6-count);
- Joint Juice Drops;
- Joint Juice Extra Strength Ready-to-Drink (6-count); and
- Joint Juice On the Go! Drink Mix Powder (7-count).
Additionally, the website says that identified class members are eligible to receive a one-time cash payment of $25 per unit for each purchase of any of the following:
- Joint Juice Ready-to-Drink (30 count);
- Joint Juicy Easy Shot Concentrate;
- Joint Juice Extra Strength Ready-to-drink (24-count); and
- Joint Juice On the Go! Drink Mix Powder (30-count).
Multi-state Joint Juice settlement class members who submit no proof of purchase with their claim can receive a cash payment for up to six units purchased, while those looking to claim more than six units must provide proof for each unit purchased, such as receipts or order confirmations, with their claim form.
Payments for claim forms submitted with or without proof of purchase will be subject to the same $10 and $25 per-product cap.
All cash payments from the New York or multi-state Joint Juice settlements may be subject to a pro rata (equal share) increase or decrease, depending on the amount that remains in the net settlement fund after all eligible claims and direct payment awards are determined.
To submit a New York Joint Juice settlement claim form online, class members can head to this page of the settlement site and enter the unique ID and PIN as found on their copy of the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members can download a PDF claim form to print, fill out and return by mail to the settlement administrator.
To submit a multi-state Joint Juice settlement claim form online, class members can visit this page and enter the unique ID and PIN on their received copy of the settlement notice. Class members may also download a PDF claim form here to print, complete, and return by mail to the settlement administrator.
All Joint Juice settlement claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked no later than May 15, 2026.
The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the New York Joint Juice class action settlement at a hearing on April 30, 2026. A final approval hearing for the multi-state Joint Juice settlement will be held on May 5, 2026.
Class action settlement payouts typically begin to be distributed after a deal has received final approval from the court and any appeals are resolved.
The Joint Juice class action lawsuits alleged that the maker of Joint Juice, Premier Nutrition Corporation, deliberately misrepresented the health benefits of its glucosamine products. The complaints claimed that glucosamine, the main ingredient in Joint Juice, has no positive effect on joint health and mobility as advertised.
