Welcome to the Worth v. CVS Pharmacy, Inc. Settlement Website
If you purchased a CVS brand Algal-900 DHA dietary supplement, your rights may be affected and you could get benefits from a proposed class action settlement.
- A proposed Settlement has been reached with CVS Pharmacy, Inc. (“CVS”) in a class action lawsuit about the statements made on the labels and packaging of a CVS-branded dietary supplement containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
- You are included in the Settlement if you purchased a CVS-branded Algal-900 DHA dietary supplement in the United States between November 15, 2008 and September 30, 2016 that contained claims of “clinically shown to improve memory” or “clinically shown memory improvement” on the label or packaging (“CVS Algal-900 DHA Products”).
- Those included may submit a Claim Form to receive:
- a refund of the price(s) paid to purchase CVS Algal-900 DHA Products—if the Claim Form is accompanied by a Proof of Purchase that shows the actual price paid;
- a cash payment equal to the average retail price of CVS Algal-900 DHA Products—if the Claim Form is accompanied by a Proof of Purchase reflecting the purchase of Algal-900 DHA but not the price;
- an ExtraCare account credit in the amount of your CVS Algal-900 DHA Product purchase(s)—if the Claim Form is submitted without Proof of Purchase, but CVS’s records indicate you purchased the Product using an ExtraCare account;
- a voucher in the amount of your CVS Algal-900 DHA Product purchase(s) that is good toward the purchase of any product sold at CVS—if the Claim Form is submitted without Proof of Purchase, but CVS’s records indicate you purchased Algal-900 DHA online through www.CVS.com and there is no ExtraCare account associated with your purchase;
- a maximum of $5.50 in cash (payable via check) or a $7.00 voucher toward the purchase of any product sold at CVS—if the Claim Form is submitted without Proof of Purchase and CVS does not have record of your CVS Algal-900 DHA Product purchase(s).
- Your rights are affected whether you act or do not act.
