UPDATE: The deadline is rapidly approaching for customers of the popular soda brand Poppi to submit claims as part of an $8.9 million class-action lawsuit against the beverage’s former owners. Customers must act quickly, as claims must be submitted by September 26, 2025.
Earlier this summer, VNGR Beverage, LLC, which previously owned Poppi, agreed to settle allegations that the soft drinks were misleadingly marketed as “gut healthy” without scientific backing. Although the company admitted no wrongdoing, the lawsuit revealed that many customers made purchases based on these claims.
To qualify for a share of the settlement, customers must have purchased any flavor or package of Poppi between January 23, 2020, and July 18, 2025. Those with proof of purchase could receive significant cash back: up to $0.75 per can, $3 for each four-pack, $6 for each eight-pack, and $9 for each 12- or 15-pack. Customers without proof of purchase can still claim a reimbursement capped at $16.
This settlement comes as a pivotal moment for consumers who felt misled by the company’s advertising practices. The acquisition of Poppi by PepsiCo for $1.95 billion in March has also heightened interest in the brand, making this settlement even more relevant.
To submit claims, customers are encouraged to visit the official claims website and follow the necessary steps before the deadline. The clock is ticking, and with millions at stake, this is a crucial opportunity for affected consumers.
