Have you tried the sparkling prebiotic drink Poppi since its launch in 2020? If so, you might be eligible to be part of $8.9 million class action lawsuit.
Poppi’s former owner, VNGR Beverage, LLC agreed to settle claims that the beverages were improperly marketed and labeled their products as “gut healthy,” and consumers made purchases based on that claim, although it was not backed by scientific evidence. According to court records obtained by USA TODAY, the company did not admit to any wrongdoing
Customers who purchased any flavor or package size of Poppi drinks between January 23, 2020, and July 18, 2025, are eligible for a portion of the class action settlement payment following the agreement reached with Poppi.
Here is what you need to know.
