Consumers who have purchased Zicam cold and allergy medications as far back as 2011 may be eligible to take part in a $16 million class-action lawsuit and receive a cash payment. The suit alleges that the manufacturers made false or misleading claims about the products' effectiveness.

The companies being sued -- Zicam LLC and Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. -- deny the allegations and say their products' claims were "proper, truthful, and not misleading."

A federal court has not decided which side is right and reports say the settlement is to avoid furthering the lawsuit.
