WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Dannon said Friday it will reimburse consumers for up to $100 of Activia and DanActive yogurt purchases and change its marketing and labeling to settle a class-action lawsuit.

The lawsuit, filed in 2008, alleges Dannon overstated the yogurt's health benefits. The company said the products can strengthen the body's defenses or regulate digestion because of bacteria they contain.

Like most class action suits, the attorneys bringing the suit will pocket millions and the yogurt buyers who take the time to filing a claim probably will get a coupon for a few containers of free yogurt
