Deadline approaching for Poppi customers to file claim for settlement

Customers of the well-known soda brand Poppi are running out of time to make a claim as part of an $8.9 million class-action lawsuit. The lawsuit, which was filed against the company, centers around claims that Poppi’s packaging and marketing misled consumers by suggesting the soda was healthier than it actually is.

Consumers who purchased Poppi products between May 25, 2016, and Feb. 20, 2022, have until April 30 to submit a claim. The lawsuit alleges that Poppi misled customers by labeling its sodas as having “0g Sugar” and being made with “natural ingredients.” However, the products contain agave syrup, which is a significant source of sugar, contrary to what the labeling implies.

The plaintiffs argue that this deceptive marketing led consumers to believe that they were making a healthier choice by choosing Poppi over other soda brands. As a result, they are seeking compensation for anyone who purchased Poppi products during the specified time frame.

In response to the lawsuit, Poppi has denied any wrongdoing but agreed to settle the case to avoid costly litigation. The company has agreed to establish an $8.9 million settlement fund to compensate affected customers. Consumers who can provide proof of purchase during the specified period may be eligible to receive a cash payment, depending on the number of claims submitted.

Poppi has also committed to updating its labeling and marketing practices to provide more accurate information to consumers. This includes clarifying the amount of sugar in its products and ensuring that any health claims are backed by scientific evidence.

The deadline to submit a claim is rapidly approaching, and affected customers are encouraged to take action to receive compensation for being misled by Poppi’s marketing. By participating in the class-action lawsuit, consumers can hold the company accountable for deceptive practices and potentially recoup some of the money spent on products that did not meet their expectations.

If you believe you are eligible to make a claim in the Poppi class-action lawsuit, be sure to submit your information before the April 30 deadline. This is your opportunity to seek restitution for being misled by the soda brand’s marketing tactics and to help ensure that companies are held accountable for providing accurate information to consumers.
