Class-action settlement: Deadline for CVS lidocaine customers to file claim in six days

Customers of CVS Pharmacy-branded maximum strength lidocaine patches, creams, roll-ons, or spray products have six more days to file a claim in a $3.8 million settlement.

Consumers alleged that the packaging of the products was deceptive because it led people to believe they provided a “maximum strength” of lidocaine. CVS Pharmacy had denied any wrongdoing but has agreed to this settlement to resolve the matter. The deadline to file a claim is Nov. 20.

Those who purchased the products from Dec. 11, 2017, through July 18, 2023, are eligible for the settlement and may submit a claim to receive a piece of the settlement.

Customers may submit up to three claims to recover $4.50 per unit, without proof of purchase. Those who submit a claim with proof of purchase are entitled to $4.50 per unit, with no limit on how many claims they make. An affected customer may make claims with proof of purchase or without proof of purchase, but not both.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Dec. 19, when affected customers may speak about the proposed settlement with the pharmacy over the lidocaine products. Further information on the settlement, including how to file a claim, can be found on the court-authorized website.

Another class-action settlement with an upcoming deadline to file a claim is one for Capital One customers. The settlement comes after a hacker accessed millions of customers’ personal information. Affected customers have until Nov. 27 to claim a piece of that settlement with Capital One.
