November 2013: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Rite Aid alleging that the company misleadingly advertised its line of joint health dietary supplements containing glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the company promises that the supplement will “help rebuild cartilage and lubricate joints” when, in reality, scientific studies do not support such claims. (Lastres et al v. Rite Aid Corp., Case No. 13-cv-06550, E. D. NY.).
