Poppi has agreed to an $8.9 million settlement due to allegations of misleading consumers with health claims about its beverages.
Customers who bought Poppi sodas between January 2020 and July 2025 can file a claim to receive compensation.
Claims must be submitted by September 26, 2025, either online or by mail.
Consumers with proof of purchase can claim up to 75 cents per can, $3 per 4-pack, $6 per 8-pack, and $9 per 12 or 15-pack.
Those without receipts can still claim up to $16 per household.
PepsiCo acquired Poppi for $1.65 billion, highlighting the brand's rapid growth despite the controversy.
Poppi, known for its prebiotic sodas, faced a lawsuit alleging that its marketing improperly claimed the beverages were 'gut healthy.' The suit argued that consumers would need to drink an excessive amount of Poppi to experience any gut health benefits, negating those benefits with the soda's sugar content.
