If I was dannon I would tell them sue me and I wouldn’t give these people a dime. Nothing on the label is lie they emphasize on one particular ingredient that is in the product. It’s not going to work for everyone as nobody’s problems are identical and naturally peoples digestive systems work in different ways. If it don’t work don’t do it. Didn’t you learn this in kindergarten class. If you can’t drink milk you don’t drink it. If you can’t ear nuts you don’t eat them. Nyquill will knock my wife out but doesn’t do anything for me so guess what I don’t use it. There should be no out of court settlement because there is no case. I did a class action lawsuit 11 years ago when I was 18 for a electric belt that was supposed to cut fat at your waist. Well I didn’t work As does most infomercial products so 6 years after I got this letter to join this class action suit I got a settlement check for $2.88 I paid $49.00 for the product so guess what I didn’t even get my money back even though I never tried too the reason for the lawsuit was because the Velcro would tear after a while and expose the leads where the electric cord spliced into the motor and would cause the user to eventually get shocked when turned on. So if something that dangerous amounted to a $2.88 reimbursement than this is going to be a total waste of everybody’s time. and yes I know it was a class action lawsuit so there were probably millions of people on the suit and I know the lawyers took majority of the money. Knowing now as I got older I regret ever doing it because I believe America looks like asses because of the sue happy lifestyle Americans have fallen into.

I always have one yogourt in the morning in my breakfast. This time I wanted to try activia because they have new products. After I tried this products I got constipated. I don’t understand why because i am a regular person.

I have taken Activia for four weeks faithfully and I’m still constipated and bloated. Will not buy this product again. I will stick with plain yogurt. Dannon is asking for a class action.

Everyone’s digestive system is different. Everyone’s eating habits are different. Everyone’s absorption is different. Some things work for some people; others don’t. Activia worked for me. It’s nice to be regular and not bloated. Yes…I tried regular yoghurt, fat free yoghurt, plain, fruit, Greek, every yoghurt and Activia is the only one that has helped me with my normal digestion AND I have not changed my diet.
I lived in Italy, too and noticed that Activia is a big part of people’s diet over there. Every store is stocked with it. And yes…taking myself out of the picture, I totally recognized A LOT of things about Americans that I didn’t like, one of them being how law suit happy they are.
Because something doesn’t work for you doesn’t give you the permission to file a law suit.

In my case, it has made the difference between night and day. My digestive system IS much better. Thank you Activia and Dannon.

I decided to give Activia a try, as I was suffering from horrible abdominal pain every time I ate. I figured I had nothing to lose. I spent less than $8 to try it for a week, and they offer a moenyback guarantee of up to $14.

I can’t believe the difference it has made for me!

It has been a month and I haven’t had a single stomach ache. I almost forgot how it felt to feel this way. Furthermore, I think it tastes great.

I can’t believe this Trish broad is suing because “it tasted poorly” and didn’t work for her. Aw! Did you suffer a little econmic injury, Trish? Did you pay a nominal amount of money to try something that you ended up not liking? QUICK! Someone get this ignorant b!#*% $300 million!

I am a 60 year old female. I started having major digestive problems after taking several medications for inflammation, and surgery (gallbladder/appendix). After the surgery, I was dismayed and alarmed to still have the bloating and pain problem – no matter what or how much or I ate.
It occurred to me that it might be the result of having taken antibiotics and other meds, severely disrupting my digestive system.
I gave Activia a try – and to my delight and amazement, had relief after just one “dose”. I plan to stick with it until my digestion is back to normal.
And, I might add, I love the taste Dannon’s yogurt!
ps. We own dogs, and always supplement their food with a couple of tablespoonsful of plain, lowfat yogurt. Beneficial to their coats and digestion.

Wow! I was really surprised by this lawsuit. It is nothing short of a Joke. I will stand by, Dannon’s claims are correct.

The bacteria found in Activia is beneficial. I’ve been eating the Vanilla flavor for a couple of years, off and on, and I notice the difference it makes.

To further support Dannon’s claims, there is a product called Uncle Jim’s Duk Soup manufactured by Marshalls that contains the same bacteria. Although I have never read Marshall make any claims about this product, I have read hundreds of statements from ferret owners labeling this product as a “miracle supplement.”

The actual miracle is lactobacillus acidophilus. Through my own studies with a few ferret owning friends-we found lactobacillus acidophilus to be extremely beneficial to ferrets. It helps more nutrients to be absorb by the digestive tract.

Further, this bacteria saved my ferrets life. This is only my opinion…and I stand by it. My ferret had an ulcer, and lost an extreme amount of weight. Introducing a higher concentration of lactobacillus acidophilus to his diet assisted in recovery. It also helped his digestive tract absorb the antibiotics better, as his ulcer seemed to be resistent prior to introducing the higher concentration of the bacteria.

That all said, the lawsuit is frivolous.

Next we are going to sue the company who makes poptarts and oreos because of our obese children. HAH! It doesn’t work for everyone. Jeez.

I don’t like paying extra for Activia but this stuff works great and I will keep buying it anyway.
