Reebok Toning Shoes Settlement Claim Forms Due Soon

March 30th, 2012. By AbiK

If you were one of those fitness lovers who drank the Reebok toning shoe Kool-Aid® only to find out there was a Reebok Toning Shoe Class Action Lawsuit, well, the deadline to get your claim form in for the Reebok Toning Shoe Settlement is fast upon us, so listen up!

Why was there a Reebok Toning Shoes Class Action Lawsuit in the first place?

Basically, false advertising—Reebok claimed their toning shoes and apparel would work wonders (surprise, surprise) and the folks who bought them felt otherwise; some even claimed they were injured by the shoes. Needless to say, Reebok denies all wrongdoing. The Court did not decide which side was right. Rather, the parties have decided to settle. So here we are. 

Am I part of the Reebok Toning Shoes Class Action Lawsuit?

Darn right you are if you purchased any of the following from Reebok and/or its authorized retailers and wholesalers from December 5, 2008 through October 12, 2011, and meet any other qualifications specified on the settlement notice:

Reebok Toning Shoes (aka “Eligible Shoes”)

• EasyTone
• EasyTone Flip
• RunTone
• TrainTone
• JumpTone
• SimplyTone
• SlimTone

Reebok Toning Apparel (aka “Eligible Apparel”)

• EasyTone Capri
• EasyTone Pants
• EasyTone Shorts
• EasyTone Long Bra Top
• EasyTone Sleeveless Shirt
• EasyTone Short Sleeve Top

How much is the Reebok Toning Shoes Settlement worth?

Well, if you’re a member of the class (ie, you bought one of the eligible items above during the time mentioned above) you may be entitled to part of the settlement.

The Reebok Toning Shoe Settlement utilizes the same $25 million fund announced with the FTC on September 28, 2011, less the costs of notice and settlement administration, to pay claims to eligible Class Members relating to the purchase of eligible shoes and apparel. Court awarded attorneys’ fees and costs and class representative awards will be paid separately by Reebok. Reebok is also agreeing to make certain conduct changes.

The amount of payment to eligible Class Members will vary based on the product(s) purchased, the number and amounts claimed by all Class Members and other adjustments and deductions. The amount could be more (up to double), the same, or less than $50 for each pair of Eligible Shoes, $40 for each EasyTone Capri and EasyTone Pants, and $25 for each applicable shirt, bra top and top.

What do I need to do to get my Reebok Toning Shoe Settlement Payment?

You need to fill out and submit a claim form AT THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR’S WEBSITE HERE.

Your Reebok settlement claim form must be submitted electronically, or postmarked via mail, no later than April 10, 2012.

NOTE: If you already submitted a claim form after the FTC announcement, do not submit another claim form. You will also be sent a notice in the near future about the class action settlement.

The detailed notice for the Reebok toning shoe settlement describes how to file a claim and provides other important information.
