Joint Juice Glucosamine Settlement — Maryland Residents' Guide
Updated June 23, 2026 · By Timoteus Bakker
Short answer: Yes, Maryland residents qualify for the Joint Juice Glucosamine class action settlement. Maximum payout: $150. Filing deadline: May 15, 2026. No proof of purchase required — just a sworn statement that you bought Joint Juice glucosamine drinks during the class period (March 1, 2009 – December 31, 2022) while living in Maryland.
Maryland's qualifying state law: Maryland Consumer Protection Act (CPA) — prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices and allows class action enforcement.
About the Joint Juice Glucosamine case
The case alleges that Joint Juice's glucosamine-supplement drinks were marketed with joint-health claims that the underlying science didn't support. The 9-state class action seeks refunds for consumers who paid a premium based on those representations.
Defendant: Premier Nutrition / Joint Juice. Class period: March 1, 2009 – December 31, 2022. Type: consumer-protection / false advertising.
Why Maryland qualifies for this settlement
The Joint Juice class action is a 9-state class action. Maryland is included because of Maryland Consumer Protection Act (CPA) — prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices and allows class action enforcement.
The other 41 states are NOT in the class because their consumer-protection statutes don't support the specific theory underlying this case (false-advertising claims for supplement health representations). Residents of the 41 excluded states cannot file this settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to currently live in Maryland to file?
No. Eligibility tracks where you lived when you bought Joint Juice glucosamine drinks during March 1, 2009 – December 31, 2022. If you bought the product while a Maryland resident and moved away, you still qualify.
What if I moved INTO Maryland after the class period?
You don't qualify, because the relevant residency is at the time of purchase. If your purchases were made while you lived in a state not in the class, those purchases aren't covered.
How much will I actually receive?
Up to $150. The actual per-claimant amount depends on the settlement's allocation method and the number of valid claims filed. For most class members in this case, the realistic estimate is at the higher end of the no-proof tier.
When does the Joint Juice Glucosamine settlement pay out?
Typically 5-10 months after the May 15, 2026 deadline. The fairness hearing usually happens 3-6 months after deadline, with payouts following 4-12 weeks after final approval.
