If you desire to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense and you may enter an appearance with the Court.

In the lawsuit, the Plaintiffs allege, among other things, that Defendants' failure to adequately disclose terms of Risk Free Trials and Auto-Shipment Programs, refusal to refund customers who timely returned Hydroxatone products, failure to allow consumers to timely cancel Auto-Shipment Program memberships, and failure to cease billing consumers for Hydroxatone products after they have cancelled their memberships constitute a breach of contract, a violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, and unjust enrichment. Defendants deny all of the claims.

The Class includes all Persons residing in the United States who between January 1, 2005 and March 28, 2013 paid for, and/or were charged for Hydroxatone-branded products, and/or were charged shipping and processing fees for such products, in connection with a Risk-Free Trial and/or Auto-Shipment Program, including but not limited to offers regarding or receipt of the following products: Hydroxatone, Celtrixa, Hydrolyze, Declatone, Lashatone, Instant Effect, Luminique, Instant Wrinkle Filler, and Orexis.

To exclude yourself, you must mail a Request for Exclusion, postmarked no later than June 25, 2013, to: Hydroxatone Settlement Administrator, c/o Gilardi & Co. LLC P.O. Box 8090 San Rafael, CA 94912-8090. If you do not submit a written Request for Exclusion, you will be bound by the Final Approval Order and Judgment and you will remain in the Class, and cannot sue, or continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit against the Defendants about the claims being released in this Amended Settlement. All of the Court's orders will apply to you and legally bind you. To object to the Amended Settlement, you must file an objection with the Court by no later than June 17, 2013.
