Reminder: You may be eligible for a payout in the $8.9M Poppi settlement—here’s how to claim
- Replies 0
Imagine getting money back for a drink you picked up at the grocery store—no strings, no hassle.
Poppi, a beverage brand known for its health-forward marketing, is now offering payments to customers who purchased their drinks between January 23, 2020, and July 18, 2025.
The reason? That part’s a little more complicated.
What started as a wellness trend has turned into something much bigger, and it could affect more people than you'd think.
If you've ever grabbed one of these colorful cans, this is a reminder you'll want to read.
Poppi markets its beverages as promoting gut health, thanks to their prebiotic ingredients and wellness branding.
But a lawsuit argued that the science doesn’t quite back up those claims—and that consumers may have been misled into believing the drinks were healthier than they really are.
Some concerns were even raised about health risks for certain individuals, especially those relying on these drinks in place of truly healthful options.
While Poppi denies any wrongdoing, the company has agreed to settle the case and provide compensation to customers.
If you bought any flavor of Poppi in the eligible timeframe, you’re likely eligible for a payout.
That includes individual cans, multi-packs, and variety bundles.
Here’s how the payments are structured:
Final payout amounts may be reduced depending on how many valid claims are submitted.
Visit the official Poppi settlement website and fill out the claim form.
You’ll be asked to enter your contact information and list the Poppi products you purchased.
If you have receipts, upload them—but if not, you can still claim up to $16 without proof.
Deadline reminder: The final hearing is scheduled for November 20, 2025, so it’s best to file your claim as soon as possible.
This settlement is a reminder to be cautious with health claims on trendy products.
As the wellness industry continues to grow, it’s important to question bold promises like “gut healthy” or “immunity boosting.”
Not all brands offer the science to back them up—and as this case shows, that can have legal consequences.
