Consumer complaints worth remembering.
Walgreen Glucosamine and Chondroitin Supplements
October 2013: Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed this lawsuit against Walgreen Co. The reasons for the dismissal have not yet been disclosed.
September 2013: Another class-action lawsuit was filed against Walgreen Co. for allegedly falsely marketing its glucosamine and chondroitin supplements. Specifically, plaintiffs allege that the company promised that the supplements would “rebuild cartilage” when there is no scientific evidence to support such a claim. (McGinley et al. v. Walgreen Co., Case No. 13-cv-80947, S. D. FL.).
