If you purchased Poppi sodas between January 2020 and July 2025, you’re eligible to get money back as part of a class action settlement. The suit claimed the beverage company misled customers about its health claims.
Poppi settlement
The lawsuit alleged that Poppi improperly marketed its products by making claims that they were healthy for the gut. The suit claimed people would need to drink four or more cans to receive the gut health benefits the company was promoting.
The settlement was reached for $8.9 million. The amount you can receive from the settlement is outlined below, provided you have proof of purchase.
Single Can | 4-Pack | 8-Pack | 12 or 15-Pack |
75 ¢ | $3 | $6 | $9 |
Customers who do not have any receipts can still file a claim, but it will be limited to $16 per household.
The actual dollar amounts will depend on the number of approved claims, administrative costs, attorney fees and other factors.
A final approval hearing is scheduled for November 20 in federal court, and if approved, payments will be disbursed within three months.
You will have until Sept. 26 to file a claim, which can be done at poppisettlement.com.

Poppi’s growth
Poppi agreed to the settlement but has denied any wrongdoing in the case.
The company has risen in popularity over the years, even airing a Super Bowl commercial this year. However, that commercial stirred some controversy.
They sent vending machines to influencers around the country, at a cost of $25,000 each. Some social media users criticized the move as wasteful.
That didn’t stop PepsiCo from acquiring the company just a few months later. The deal was valued at $1.65 billion.
It came after Coca-Cola launched a competitor called Simply Pop.
Poppi’s first big break came back in 2018, airing on an episode of Shark Tank as “Mother’s Beverage.”
Beverage industry heavyweight Rohan Oza invested $400,000 for a 25% stake in the company.
