Nutramax Cosequin Dog Supplement Class Action Settlement

What is the Nutramax false advertising settlement about?

The Nutramax Cosequin dog supplement class action settlement (Lytle v. Nutramax Laboratories Inc.) resolves allegations that Nutramax made false and unsubstantiated advertising claims that its Cosequin canine products support 'mobility, cartilage and joint health' without adequate scientific evidence. The lawsuit alleged violations of California consumer protection laws covering deceptive marketing of pet health products.

Nutramax denied wrongdoing but agreed to settle for $11.5 million and to modify Cosequin packaging language going forward. California residents who purchased certain Cosequin dog supplements for personal use between May 3, 2016, and May 6, 2022, may claim up to $25 per product purchased — up to six products — for a maximum household payout of $150. No proof of purchase is required for claims of $50 or less.
