Consumers who purchased Poppi sodas have just days left to apply for their share of an $8.9 million class action settlement.
The lawsuit alleged Poppi marketed its sodas as “gut healthy” in ways that misled customers.
According to the complaint, a person would need to drink four or more cans of Poppi to “receive any health benefits from its prebiotic fiber.” Plaintiffs argued that doing so would negate benefits because of the soda’s sugar content. They claimed that consumers bought products they would not have otherwise purchased or paid higher prices based on these claims.
Poppi agreed to the settlement but denies any wrongdoing. The company maintains that its labeling is truthful and accurate.
Consumers must submit claims by Thursday, September 26. A federal judge will hold a final approval hearing on November 20. If the court approves the deal, payments will be distributed within 90 days.
The settlement covers purchases made for household use between January 2020 and July 18, 2025. It applies to all Poppi flavors and package sizes. Eligible consumers can file claims online at www.poppisettlement.com. Claims may also be mailed to:
In re VNGR Beverage, LLC Litigation Settlement Administrator
P.O. Box 301134
Los Angeles, CA 90030-1134
Consumers with receipts or proof of purchase can claim up to 75 cents per single can, $3 per 4-pack, $6 per 8-pack, and $9 per 12- or 15-pack.
Those without receipts may still file claims, but will be capped at $16 per household.
The actual payout amount will depend on the number of valid claims filed and the costs of administering the settlement.
Consumers who believe they qualify must act before the Thursday deadline to ensure eligibility for reimbursement.
