There are four days remaining for customers who purchased CVS Pharmacy-branded maximum strength lidocaine patches, creams, roll-ons, or spray products in the past few years to file a claim and get a piece of a $3.8 million settlement.
A group of customers alleged that the packaging of the products was deceptive because it led people to believe the product provided "maximum strength" lidocaine. CVS Pharmacy has denied any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to resolve the matter. The deadline for customers to file a claim is Nov. 20.

Those who purchased the products from Dec. 11, 2017, through July 18, 2023, are eligible for the settlement. To receive a piece of the settlement, they must submit a claim.
Customers can submit claims one of two ways. Eligible customers may submit up to three claims worth $4.50 per unit without proof of purchase, or they may submit a claim with proof of purchase for $4.50 per unit, with no limit on how many claims they make. The claims can be made one of the two ways, but not through both methods.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Dec. 19. The hearing will allow customers to speak about the proposed settlement with the pharmacy over the lidocaine products. Further information on the settlement, including how to file a claim, can be found on the court-authorized website.
Another class-action settlement with an upcoming deadline is for Capital One customers affected by a hack in which millions of customers' personal information was accessed. Affected Capital One customers have until Nov. 27 to claim a piece of that settlement.
