If you’ve sipped a Poppi sparkling prebiotic soda in the past few years, you may be eligible for part of an $8.9 million class action settlement — but time is running out to file your claim.
The settlement stems from a lawsuit against VNGR Beverage, LLC, the former owner of Poppi, which claimed that the drinks were marketed as “gut healthy” without sufficient scientific evidence. The company has agreed to a settlement, though it denies any wrongdoing, according to court documents obtained by USA Today.
Here’s what you need to know about the lawsuit, who qualifies for compensation and how to submit your claim before the Thursday, September 26 deadline.
Why Is Poppi Being Sued?
Poppi, a sparkling beverage marketed as a prebiotic drink for gut health, became popular for its unique packaging and better-for-you branding. However, a class action lawsuit alleged that these claims, specifically around digestive health, were not supported by science at the time they were made.
While VNGR Beverage, LLC (Poppi’s former owner) denies any wrongdoing, it agreed to an $8.9 million settlement to resolve the claims.
Who Is Eligible for the Poppi Settlement?
If you bought any flavor or size of Poppi between January 23, 2020, and July 18, 2025, you’re likely eligible for compensation. Here’s how it breaks down, according to the claim’s website:
With Proof of Purchase (Receipts or Online Order History)
- Up to $0.75 per single can
- $3 per four-pack
- $6 per eight-pack
- $9 per 12- or 15-pack
Without proof of purchase, you can still submit a claim, but the maximum reimbursement is capped at $16.
