Looks like Dr. Phil Inc. will have to shell out $10.8 million in a settlement towards a class action suit related to his line of Shape Up diet products. Allegedly, none of the goods worked and everyone who used the Dr. Phil diet wonder conconctions remained their same old overweight selves. Diet pills and food that fail to make you thin. What a shocker.
However, before you start doing the "class action settlement" jig. This is what the plaintiffs get:
"To palliate the plaintiffs, Dr. Phil and his fellow defendants will be setting up a fund in which the plaintiffs can choose between Nutrilite vitamins or a whopping $12.50 in cash."
Do the vitamins at least come in Flinstone shapes?
