Pharmaceutical company Ranbaxy agreed to pay out an $8.25 million to resolve claims it “conspired” with other companies to raise price of Lipitor.
The settlement benefits those who bought, paid for or provided reimbursement for the purchases of a Lipitor branded product in West Virginia between March 24, 2010 and November 30, 2011.
A lawsuit from the West Virginia attorney general claims Ranbaxy conspired to suppress generic alternatives to Lipitor prescriptions.
This allegedly made patients pay higher prices for Lipitor medication.
However, Ranbaxy has not admitted to any wrongdoing.
Instead, the company has agreed to pay the $8.25 million settlement to resolve the claims.
People affected can receive a cash payment of up to $599 under the terms of the settlement.
The payments will vary depending on the number of valid claims filed.
However, time is rapidly running out for anyone with a claim to submit their forms.
The deadline to file a valid claim form is July 28, 2025.
However, according to Top Class Actions, no proof of purchase is required.
Elsewhere, Americans are set to receive portions of a major $4 million class action settlement.
Old Lyme Gourmet agreed to pay out to resolve claims it erroneously advertised Deep River chips as non-GMO.
According to the lawsuit, Old Lyme falsely advertised their snacks with a “non-GMO ingredients” graphic.
The company did not admit any wrongdoing, but agreed to pay out a $4 million settlement to resolve the claims.
The settlement terms set out that customers can claim $5 for the first product they bought.
After that, they can claim $0.50 for each additional one purchased.
