Target Health Supplements Class Action Lawsuits
Last updated April 30, 2026 · By Class Action Buddy
Target, one of America's largest retailers, sells thousands of health supplements through its stores and online platform. While Target itself manufactures some private-label supplements under brands like Up & Up, the company also carries major supplement brands that have faced regulatory scrutiny and legal challenges.
Currently, there are no major active class action lawsuits specifically targeting Target's health supplement practices. However, Target customers have been affected by broader supplement industry lawsuits involving products sold at Target stores. The supplement industry faces ongoing legal challenges related to mislabeling, contamination, and false advertising claims.
Target customers should stay informed about potential supplement-related litigation, as the company's extensive supplement inventory means customers could be eligible for settlements from manufacturer lawsuits. These cases typically involve products that were sold through multiple retail channels, including Target stores nationwide.
Notable Target Health Supplements Cases
GNC Herbal Plus Settlement (2015) — $2.25 million settlement GNC agreed to settle claims that its herbal supplements contained little to no active ingredients, affecting products sold at various retailers including Target.
NBTY Vitamin Shoppe Glucosamine Settlement (2012) — $3.36 million settlement Settlement addressed allegations that glucosamine supplements didn't contain claimed amounts of active ingredients, impacting products distributed through major retailers.
Nature Made Vitamin D Settlement (2019) — $1.4 million settlement Pharmavite settled claims that Nature Made Vitamin D products were mislabeled regarding potency, affecting customers who purchased these items at Target and other stores.
CVS Private Label Supplement Settlement (2018) — $40 million settlement While CVS-specific, this case highlighted issues with private-label supplement quality control that could apply to any major retailer's house brands.
Who Is Eligible to Claim?
Target health supplement settlement eligibility typically depends on purchase history and the specific products involved in each case. Customers who purchased affected supplements from Target stores or Target.com during specified time periods may qualify for compensation.
Most settlements require proof of purchase, though some accept alternative evidence like store loyalty card records or credit card statements. Target's REDcard system and online purchase history can provide necessary documentation for claims.
Eligibility often extends to customers who suffered adverse effects, received products that didn't match label claims, or simply purchased mislabeled items. Settlement amounts vary based on purchase quantities and whether customers experienced actual harm versus economic losses from purchasing allegedly defective products.
How to File a Claim
Filing claims for Target health supplement settlements follows standard class action procedures. When settlements are announced, customers typically receive notice through mail, email, or public announcements. Claims must be submitted before specified deadlines, usually 60-90 days after notice.
Required documentation includes proof of purchase from Target, product packaging when available, and details about purchase dates and quantities. Many settlements offer online claim forms through dedicated settlement websites administered by third-party claims administrators.
