This affects buyers of Shape-Ups, Resistance Runners, Toners, and Tone-Ups.

Wow, that is something! I just signed up since I bought Sketchers Toners last year. Personally, I never believed in the weight loss claims; I just thought that they would be comfortable (they are) and maybe help with back pain (not sure about that, but I don't wear them for walking, just exercise). I almost feel guilty apply for a refund!

Thank you for posting that! I really appreciate it. I have 3 pairs (shape-ups, the runner pair and the accelerator pair I believe it's called) in my closet. I never wear them because I feel like they bother my ankles. I thought they were comfortable at first but now whenever I try to wear them they feel very heavy on my feet and my knees go out of alignment easily.

Does that mean sitting at on an exercise ball at your desk does not give you a six pack too?

GASP! Perhaps we should ban together, file a class action lawsuit, and get refunds on our exercise balls regardless if we use them or not!

The deadline to file your Reebok claim was mid-April, so it will probably be a few months after that before any settlement payouts are received. I filed a claim back in September 2011.

I joined in the DeBeers diamond suit years ago, and I still haven't gotten any money from that. There is a website that is periodically updated, but they have had this settlement claim tied up in court for years (since 2008 at least).

I wouldn't! When they had the Baby Einstein settlement a few years ago, I packed up the CDs and DVDs that my kids had enjoyed but outgrown, sent them in and got a $60 check in the mail I never for a minute thought they were anything more than entertainment.
