Reebok recently settled a lawsuit with the Federal Trade Commission for $25 million over charges that the sportswear company made claims it couldn't support about its EasyTone and RunTone shoes. (The EasyTone commercial below was uploaded to YouTube on March 3, 2010.)

The FTC — a federal consumer protection agency — says Reebok claimed the products could "strengthen and tone leg and butt muscles" but could not substantiate those claims to the FTC's satisfaction. As a result of the settlement, those who have purchased Reebok toning shoes or apparel may be entitled for a refund.

To qualify, you must have purchased the Reebok toning products between Dec. 5, 2008, and Oct. 12, 2011. Eligible items can be viewed in the

, which must be electronically submitted no later than April 10, 2012.
