Have you tried the sparkling prebiotic drink Poppi since its launch in 2020? If so, you may be entitled to be part of a $8.9 million class action lawsuit.
Poppi’s former owner, VNGR Beverage, LLC, agreed to resolve the claim that the beverage was sold inappropriately, labeling the product as “gut health,” and consumers purchased it based on that claim, although it was not supported by scientific evidence. The company did not admit fraud, according to court records obtained by USA Today.
Customers who purchase a POPPI drink flavor or package size by January 23, 2020 and July 18, 2025 will be eligible for part of the class action settlement payments following the agreement they reach with POPPI.
This is what you need to know.
Who is eligible for the settlement?
According to the billing website, eligible consumers will receive cashback based on the amount of POPPI products purchased. Those with proof of purchase can receive the following amounts:
- Up to $0.75 per single can
- $3 per pack
- $6 per pack
- $9 per 12 or 15 packs
If you do not have proof of purchase, a $16 refund cap will apply. According to the site, claims must be submitted online or by mail by September 16, 2025.
