Premier Nutrition Corporation ("Defendant") and Plaintiff announced a $9 million settlement to resolve a nationwide class action lawsuit alleging that Defendant's Premier Protein ready-to-drink protein shakes may not include as much protein as their product labeling and advertising indicate. Defendant denies that it did anything wrong. The Court has not made any ruling on Defendant's liability, if any. With some exclusions, the settlement includes all persons in the United States who purchased Premier Protein ready-to-drink protein shakes from August 8, 2011 to October 12, 2018.
If the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York approves the settlement, Defendant will pay $9 million into a Settlement Fund to pay Settlement benefits to Class Members, a service award to the Plaintiff, Class Counsel's fees, and costs relating to settlement administration. Class Members who file a qualified claim with valid proof of purchase will be entitled to $1 per purchased shake up to $40.00 in cash, subject to pro rata adjustment. Class Members without proof of purchase who file valid claims will be entitled to $0.50 per purchased shake up to $20.00 in cash, subject to pro rata adjustment.
