Eclipse gum maker comes under fire for claiming gum and mints are naturally germ free

WASHINGTON - If you buy sugar free gum or mints, there's a chance you're owed money.

The products are called Eclipse, made by Wrigley, and come in a variety of flavors.

A recent class action lawsuit claims the "natural germ kill" language on the packaging is misleading.

The suit further claims that Wrigley can't back up the claims.

Wrigley has agreed to a $6 million settlement.

If you bought the gum or mints with the words "natural germ killing" on the label after June 1, 2008, you qualify.

While a judge must still give final approval, claims are being taken now.

You can claim up to $10 and it needs to be submitted by January, 2011.
