ADMIN – Hi Diana,
Costco can provide you with a full refund if you return the remaining pills or they can give you evidence of purchase.
I had purchased one bottle each of “Move Free” and “Pain Free” from Sam’s. I do not have receipts. They didn’t seem to help.
I have purchased at least four of the glucosamine supplements and I do not have my receipts.
Sam’s Club and Costco can provide proof for you if purchased there. Another reason to continue buying there. They can go back years.
I think I just need to save every receipt for every item anymore, just in case.
I had purchased these and was told because in Ohio not eligible. Both from sams and walgreens Pain free my buns..
I have purchased at least 4 bottles of glucosamine supplements Members Mark brand, but I do not have my receipts.
I have used Members Mark Brand glucosamine supplements for a long time. I do not have any receipts so I can only claim 4 bottles.
I have purchased at least three of the glucosamine supplements and I do not have my receipts and also Move Free product.
Unfortunately I through the bottle away and do not remember if it was MoveFree or another glucosamine product.

I don’t save any receipts for this type of purchase so there is no way I can prove that I bought it! Guess you can’t trust anybody, any company or any product these days!
Certainly I purchased at least 4 bottles of glucosamine supplements during the so-called time period. I echo the others and their comments re: “who the hell saves receipts for OTC products for 3-5 years?” Duh.
I purchased at least 2 glucosamine supplement for mother
I purchased the Schiff Move Free for years and never saved my receipts.
I have also purchased more than 4 bottles. I do not save my receipts that long.
ADMIN – Hi Gail,

I purchased bottles from Sam’s also move free and pain free since then i moved to times it will be really hard to try and find recipient it was only two bottles though
I purchased 8 botttles for myself and husband at Sams. Disappointed that it didn’t tell of the bad side effects
To Whom It May Concern,
I purchased 4 bottles of Schiff Glucosamine Joint Health Supplement. Im worried about the side effects it never talked about.

ADMIN – Hi Toni,
Instead of leaving a comment we encourage you to file a claim. A comment does nothing when it comes to getting compensated.

There is an option to claim without a receipt. Also if you purchase your stuff at Costco they can give you proof of purchase.

I have bad arthritis and bought the Shiff Move Free for close to 3 or 4 years starting around 2009.
They touted themselves as having a great product that would make a difference. I kept using it but didn’t notice much. It just got too expensive to keep buying it without seeing a significant improvement in my joint pain. I probably bought more than a dozen bottles….
I purchased 4 bottles, unfortunately I did not save the receipts.

Dear Admin,
Why are they asking for phone numbers? Is this for a marketing list? I would like to file a claim but not be on a marketing list as I quit using this years ago.
ADMIN – Hi Bob,
They are asking for phone numbers should they need to contact you for additional information. It is not a marketing list.
Have purchased far more than 4 bottles of this product but never thought to keep receipts.
I just bought some last week at Costco. I’ve been buying it for years. I’m going to return this batch. It’s incredible how much money I’ve wasted over the past few years. That includes glucosamine for myself and for my dogs.
I’m just now finding out about this. I’ve gone through about two bottles of Schiff’s Glucosamine joint care 1500mg supplements. I go to Walgreens on at least a weekly basis, and there’s no way I have a receipt for these specific purchases.
I have purchased at least four bottles of Kirkland. I don’t save these type of receipts.. but I guess I should in the future.
I have purchased 8 bottles of Glucosamine Joint Care 1500 mg supplements per my doctors request for my joint pain in my knees but I did not keep my receipts.
I have used Schiff Glucosamine for quite a few years. I never have thought of saving my receipts. It was more than 4 bottles
I have used this for over 2 years I purchase a bottle per month
I purchased 2 bottles of Move Free- no real results…
I have used this for a few years and purchased at least 10 bottles over that time frame.
I have used this product daily for my knees. I never keep my receipts. I have purchased 8+ bottles
Kirkland at Costco
I have been purchasing Schiff glucosamine for a long time. I’m upset that nothing has helped
All sellers of the tobacco drug should be prosecuted for causing injuries and deaths!
ADMIN – Hi Paul,
For clarification glucosamine is not a tobacco product.
i HAVE purchased 1 BOTTLE EVERY 4-6 WEEKS AS MY SON & i BOTH USE THE MOVE FREE BRAND
I’ve continually take this as of today. I’ve been taking this for MANY years now. I guess I’ll stop wasting my money.
I just got a check on this class action suit for 97 dollars; way more than I expected.
