Bless your heart Admin for being so patient with these commenters.
ADMIN – Hi C,
Any and all blessings are greatly appreciated…
I have used this product many times. I used it for weight lose and energy. It didn’t help.
I’ve used the shakes and the bars within the last 7 years.
I’ve used the shakes and the bars all about 6 years
I’ve used the shakes and the bars all about 6 years I used them quite often to keep my weight down Due to the fact that I have to keep my weight down in order to be able to climb into the pipe racks to do inspections and have to be in pretty good shape to be able to do that thanks
After the gastric sleeve surgery i have used several cases of premier protein shake
ADMIN – Hi Jennifer,
File your claim using the link provided.
i have been drinking them daily for last 2 years. i have cancer and need to keep my wieght up.
ADMIN – Hi Edria,
File your claim using the link provided.
I have a. Box now I have been drinking this for 5 years
I lived off these after my roux n y and still continue to drink them for two meals a day ( until now). I was wondering why i was vitamin deficient, sick all the time and my hair fell out. I wasn’t getting the protein that I was being represented I was getting. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves for putting people’s faith and health in your misrepresentation of your product. and YES, I have filed my claim.
Sonia Davison, Premier Protein Shakes are not your problem. Yes they have vitamins but not enough to compensate for the lack of absorption caused by gastric sleeve or full bypass. I take 24 additional supplements every day PLUS a protein shake or two. To stop your hair falling out/thinning, you need Biotin, Keratin, Collagen, and Gelatin daily.
Also, they DO have more protein and fewer calories than most other shakes on the market. The lawsuit is actually about a discrepancy in labeling vs what is actually in the bottle. They claim 30 grams on the package, chocolate and vanilla are actually not in dispute. The other flavors are short by about 1.5 grams — enough for a lawsuit but not enough to blame for malnutririon.
As for everyone blaming the shakes for upset stomach, diarrhea, etc. SOY products can cause stomach/digestive issues. Any SOY product, not just these. So if you don’t tolerate SOY well, don’t drink these.
I love my Premier Protein Shakes and can’t wait for the rest of the flavors to be back in stores!!!
I buy a case of these shakes monthly for the last 10 years or so from Costco! Please include me.
ADMIN – Hi Rania,
File a claim using the link provided.
I have been on these shakes and protein bars for two years and recommended by a dietician to lose weight. I have a shake for breakfast and a protein bar for lunch and eat a normal dinner. I did lose weight but now I am scared to have either. I didn’t keep receipts because I never thought I would need them .
ADMIN – Hi Sarah,
File your claim.
I purchased these products for years for my husband and myself because we’re both trying to eat healthier. We didn’t see any significant results.
I bought several cases for my husband to try and help get him in better health.
ADMIN – Hi Mary,
If you are a member of the class by all means file a claim.
I brought several Cases from Target.
ADMIN – Hi Michelle,
It sounds like you are a member of the class.
Wow I’m super disappointed I drink these at least 3x a week count me in the lawsuit please unfortunately I don’t have any receipts to prove my love for these
ADMIN – Hi Ryah,
File a claim without receipts using the links provided.
Would screen shots of my Walmart purchases that shows only dates of when I bought them count as proof? Or MUST I have the actual receipts to prove my purchase? I can get them, it’s just easier to condense them down into a listing of when they were bought, using the Walmart Savings Catcher purchase log.
I’m just disappointed because I absolutely LOVE these shakes! They are the BEST I’ve EVER had!
ADMIN – Hi Brandy,
They want the detail.
Please add me
ADMIN – Hi Rennee,
I can’t add you. You must file using the link provided.
My spouse and I have been drinking one of the Premiere Protein shakes every day for many years. The “Legal Notice” post card we received says the claim covers August 8, 2011 through October 12, 2018. We figure we’ve used over 5000 shakes since then and we have receipts for 3222 of them. Of the 4 options listed on the post card, the very best the settlement will do is give us $1 for the first 40 shakes if we file a claim, is that correct?
Thanks
ADMIN – Hi Mary,
Correct.
I brought five cases
Yes I purchased a case with no results…
I purchased the shakes during that time span.
ADMIN – Hi Emma,
That makes you a member of the class.
i bought 3 cases
ADMIN – hi Soteria,

ADMIN – Hi Sharlene,
Sorry it made you ill. This settlement addresses improper labeling as it relates to protein content. It has nothing to do with stomach issues.
I have purchased these shakes over several years .I did so to get adequate protein in my diet Obviuosly i wasn’t
I purchased about 4 cases in 1 year period at Sams. It did not make my husband and I sick
ADMIN – Hi Marjorie,
This is about the manufacturer not properly disclosing the amount of protein in each can
I had gastric sleeve surgery in June so I lived off these July Aug Sept and still using them now. I have proof of purchase labels off the many cases I bought but only have a couple receipts will the proof of purchase off the boxes work.
ADMIN – Hi Susan,
Costco and Sams keep records
I have used these as an alternate high protein source for several years. They are quick and convenient (since premixed). I basically drink 1 in the morning and then maybe one in the afternoon for a high protein source post workout. Mostly purchased at Sam’s Club in the 18 pack or 4 pack at WalMart, when running low. Very disappointing that the protein count was inaccurate.
Doctor prescribed me to drink 1 to 2 Premier Protein drinks per day to control diabetes and lose weight. Purchased from Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, Walmart.

I purchased many shakes from Sam’s Club. Never received anything from the class action lawsuit. Did anyone?
Question for you. I received 2 settlement checks today for same amount and same check number.
Is this a mistake? Deposit 1 or both?
Thanks
ADMIN – Hi Linda, Though we are *not* the settlement administrator of your case (we are only a newspaper of class action settlements), let us answer your question — you need to deposit only ONE of those checks, lest your bank penalize you and charge you for the “erroneous” check. As for that erroneous check, you need to get in touch directly with the settlement admin and ask for a correctly numbered check — assuming the admin intended to pay you in two checks separately. Good luck.
Check arrived today
Payout was $17
My address on my settlement form has changed?
I still have the PO BOx where the check was issued but the post office sent the check back due to non-payment of the box. When I paid the box on 4/1 all of my mail had been returned.
Is there a way my check can be re-sent to the PO box?

Settlement Administrator: I submitted a claim in the Premium Protein Shake class action lawsuit settlement and received 2 separate checks in the amount of $17.20 each, which I deposited in my bank account. I received a call from my bank the next day advising that both checks contained the same check number (337027 dated March 27, 2019) and that my account would be deducted $17.20 for one of them. How did this happen? Please re-issue me an appropriate second check. Thank you for your attention to this inquiry.
