Proof Required?
Pfizer agreed to a $44 million settlement resolving multidistrict litigation alleging that the smoking-cessation drug Chantix (varenicline) was sold while contaminated with a nitrosamine, a chemical compound classified as a probable human carcinogen, without disclosing it to consumers. If you paid out of pocket for Chantix during the class period, you can file for reimbursement.

Who Was Eligible?

Who the settlement covered:

  • You are an individual (or third-party payor) who paid any amount for a retail purchase of Chantix in the United States or its territories between September 29, 2015 and September 17, 2021.
  • The medication was purchased at retail for personal or covered use — not for resale or distribution.

How Much Did It Pay?

Consumers share in up to 20% of the net settlement fund (after fees, costs, and administration); the remaining ~80% is allocated to third-party payors such as insurers. Your individual payment depends on the number of prescriptions you self-report and the total number of valid claims. There is no fixed per-person maximum — you report your actual out-of-pocket cost.

How this claim was filed

This settlement is closed, so the steps below are kept for reference only — they no longer lead anywhere you can file.

  • Self-report the number of prescriptions and your out-of-pocket cost. No documentation is required when you file, but the administrator may request proof later, so keep pharmacy records, prescription records, or an explanation of benefits showing you paid for Chantix.
  • Filing is free — never pay anyone to submit for you. Class Action Buddy can auto-fill the official form.
