Buyers of Robitussin can now apply to get money from a class-action lawsuit that began in 2022 over the cough medicine being marketed as "non-drowsy."
Consumers can get $1.50 to $4.75 per claim and need to have bought Robitussin marketed as "non-drowsy" between Feb. 16, 2016 and Jan. 21, 2025 to qualify, Top Class Actions reports.
Buyers can make up to three claims with proof of purchase, but only one claim without proof of purchase.
The deadline is April 14 and claims can be made through nondrowsyrobitussinsettlement.com.
The lawsuit alleged that Haleon, the makers of Robitussin, marketed the medicine as "non-drowsy" despite it containing dextromethorphan, a ingredient that can cause drowsiness.
Haleon didn't admit wrongdoing but agreed to pay $4.5 million to settle the lawsuit.
