Not sure if this is s deal but…

If you bought a packet of Nurofen's Specific Pain Range between 2011 and 2015 (which turned out not to be very specific at all), you can claim a share in $3.5 million in compensation.

Drug company Reckitt Benckiser have announced that they've agreed to settle the class action for the massive sum to compensate "misled" consumers.

Once the settlement has been approved by the Federal Court, customers who bought the popular painkillers between 2011 and 2015 will be able to request their money back by filling out an online statutory declaration.

Only those whose claims exceed $200 will be asked to provide proof of purchase of the drugs. This may take the form of receipts, bank statements or photos of the purchases.

How can I make a claim?

Once the settlement has been approved by the Federal Court, the process for making claims will begin. Customers will fill in an online statutory declaration, detailing their purchases from 2011 to 2015.

Do I have to provide proof of purchase?

Only if you are seeking more than $200 in compensation. This can take the form of receipts, bank statements or photos of the purchased drugs.

How much money will I receive?

The claims are intended to be a refund, so this will depend on the number of packets you bought and whether they were 12 or 24 tablet packets.

How long will it take?

Law firm Bannister Law says the claims will take approximately four months to process, but the exact timing will be determined by the independent third party distributing the money.

What can I do now?

The law firm which initiated the class action, Bannister Law, is registering the details of claimants. They will contact you with more information on how to make a claim.

    …and class action was approved. All of you who signed up should be receiving an email from Bannister Law like I just have, with a link to download and fill out your stat. dec. and details to receive your payment! Ain't class actions grand!

  • swimmingtoad on 29/09/2017 - 17:22

    Received the Stat Dec paperwork/email today.
    When did you purchase and where from etc. Geez it was up to 6 years ago.

    • f4te on 30/09/2017 - 07:45

      That's why it says "To the best of my knowledge…" ;)

      • Ash-Say on 01/10/2017 - 06:52

        Are you completing section 1 or leaving in blank?

        • f4te on 01/10/2017 - 09:03

          Well that depends on what you purchased… I know we purchased a bunch of a particular kind, so that's what I'm saying.

        • dm01 on 03/10/2017 - 21:39

          @f4te: Well if your head starts to hurt from straining to remember back that far…

    • r0k on 04/10/2017 - 10:13

      How do you get an authorised witness for the Stat Dec paperwork?

  • swimmingtoad on 03/03/2018 - 22:38

    Has anyone received funds from this yet?

    • [Deactivated] on 04/03/2018 - 13:02

      Negative

      • Ash-Say on 16/03/2018 - 11:05

        No funds yet

  • John678 on 16/03/2018 - 23:31

    Not yet.

      Below is an update from Sapere Group, the third party who is handling the claims process for the class action:

      'A significant number of incomplete statutory declarations have been received.

      Following independent legal advice, Sapere has been advised to contact the individual claimants and request a supplementary statutory declaration.

      Under the Settlement Scheme (being Schedule 1 to the Settlement Deed dated 31 July 2017), payments cannot be made until all claims have been processed and any challenged claims determined.'

  • Ash-Say on 26/05/2018 - 18:06

    No funds yet.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2018 - 18:32

      Wonder how long it will take to process.

      • swimmingtoad on 27/05/2018 - 20:30

        The administrator would be happy delaying the process as much as possible collecting interest on the funds.

  • dm01 on 11/06/2018 - 18:21

    Still nothing?

        Sounds like a lot of billable hours there processing the claims ;)

  • jimmystevenjim on 29/08/2018 - 22:14

    Still haven’t receved the money….

  • Belistic on 06/10/2018 - 21:24

    Still nothing… but I'd like their bank account interest they're 'earning'…

  • [Deactivated] on 27/10/2018 - 13:43

    Anyone have any updates to this? I want to close my bank account but not before this has been processed. So annoying.

  • Belistic on 15/12/2018 - 00:23

    Still haven't heard a thing…
    NO replies to my emails either…

  • swimmingtoad on 15/12/2018 - 12:17

    I'm sure Sapere is enjoying this dragging on, more admin fees for them!

  • Samsungnote10 on 09/01/2019 - 09:37

    I got my payment yesterday
    I got about $14

    • swimmingtoad on 09/01/2019 - 11:07

      Same here, got a payment of $63.84.
      Big scale backs? Probably used all the funds on administration since it took them over a year.

      • Sshanaz on 09/01/2019 - 11:51

        Good on you guys, I didn't receive anything as yet.

  • DemocracyManifest on 09/01/2019 - 15:06

    Yeah my mate got like $80

  • singlemalt72 on 09/01/2019 - 16:54
    Merged from Nurofen Class action payout

    So, I received an email today that I have been awarded $319 in the class action - just in time for car rego next month!

    Anyone else?

    • t25 on 09/01/2019 - 22:43

      How did you get $319?

      • DemocracyManifest on 11/01/2019 - 13:15

        Needed medical evidence to get more than $200 and or receipts

  • Belistic on 09/01/2019 - 21:47

    I claimed just under $200… I got $76.42 back… wasn't worth the time or effort…

    • DemocracyManifest on 11/01/2019 - 13:15

      It surely didn't take you more than a hour to do it, took me probably half an hour all up

      • knobbs on 11/01/2019 - 13:16

        I keep getting 404 on the page to claim, are you using another link?

  • Goldfire on 10/01/2019 - 01:32

    These payouts are all over the place.

    Like many others, I don't keep receipts for these sorts of things, so I claimed $200 - I spent much more than $200 during the time frame due to health problems.

    I got a payout of $159.60 today.

    My mother also made a claim but she hasn't received the payout yet.

    • Samsungnote10 on 10/01/2019 - 12:59

      its not a refund of the full purchase price of what you actually spent

      • Goldfire on 10/01/2019 - 13:26

        Yea, I found that out after receiving the email from them, which was very delayed. It's 80% of the claim amount, which in my case is the ~$160 I received.

        I didn't have the option to edit posts and didn't want to double post.

        I'm curious to see what the claim amounts of others were. You mentioned you received $14, did you only claim $17 worth of Nurofen items?

        • Samsungnote10 on 10/01/2019 - 13:33
          +1

          I just got my email from them,
          i claimed 6 packs of the 12 pack, which works out to be about $18

          so 80% does sound about right

  • DemocracyManifest on 10/01/2019 - 16:15

    Did people do regular post or registered? I haven't heard anything back yet

    • swimmingtoad on 10/01/2019 - 17:00

      If you haven't reviewed funds or an email ild suggest they never received it.

      • DemocracyManifest on 11/01/2019 - 13:13

        Ah it was deposited yesterday got confirmation a couple of hrs ago, $100

  • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2019 - 12:45

    I only got $40 yet claimed about $178 of genuine purchases… Oh well, can't complain I guess.
