The lawsuit alleged that Poppi improperly marketed its products as “gut healthy.”
LOS ANGELES — Consumers who purchased Poppi sodas between January 2020 and July 2025 can now file claims for refunds as part of an $8.9 million class action settlement addressing allegations over the beverage’s “gut healthy” marketing claims.
The settlement, which covers all flavors and package sizes of Poppi products purchased for household use in the United States, allows eligible consumers to receive up to 75 cents per single can, $3 per 4-pack, $6 per 8-pack, and $9 per 12-pack or 15-pack purchased.
Those with receipts or proof of purchase can claim the full amounts listed above. Consumers without receipts can still file claims but are limited to a maximum of $16 per household.
The lawsuit alleged that Poppi improperly marketed its products with “gut healthy” representations. According to the lawsuit, a person would need to drink four or more cans of Poppi in order “receive any health benefits from its prebiotic fiber,” but doing so would immediately offset the benefits due to the soda’s sugar content. Plaintiffs claimed consumers purchased products they wouldn’t have otherwise bought or paid premium prices based on these health claims.
Poppi agreed to the settlement but denies any wrongdoing and maintains its product labeling is truthful and accurate.
