Most US consumers can now receive the money owed from the direct purchase of products – in most cases no receipts or documents are needed. A class-action lawsuit of $3.6 million which concerns popular eye drops that were sold at CVS, Walgreens, and other major supermarkets is calling for consumers to file a claim, and many residents may not have even realized they were a part of it.
What Is the Cause of the Lawsuit?
Similasan Corp., a Swiss company known for producing natural health remedies, is being sued for falsely advertising and misleading about the wide range of their eye care products. The case claimed that the company’s eye drops were described as “homeopathic,” “FDA approved,” and “sterile,” while the safety information about the product was left out on purpose, especially the one concerning the presence of silver sulfate.

What You Can Claim
As per the settlement conditions;
- If you have no evidence of purchase, you are entitled to demand a total of $10, which is calculated at $2.50 per product for up to four products.
- By providing proof of purchase (e.g. receipts, product photos or packaging), you are not restricted as to the number of products to claim. You will receive $2.50 per product purchased.
If a few of them who show receipts are the only ones filing claims, it is possible that these few will get a lot more money than originally expected. Payments are distributed proportionally among claimants based on the total number of claims.
