Red Bull has settled a lawsuit alleging that their marketing and labeling misrepresents both the functionality and safety of Red Bull beverages. The Settlement Class includes all persons who made at least one purchase of Red Bull products in the United States between January 1, 2002 and October 3, 2014. If you are a qualified Settlement Class Member and submit a Claim Form, you may choose one of the following:

  • A cash reimbursement (in the form of a check) of $10.00; or
  • Free Red Bull products (either Red Bull ® Energy Drink or Red Bull ® Sugarfree, as selected on the Claim Form) with a retail value of approximately $15.00 (the “Product Option”). They will mail it to you at their cost.

“No proof of purchase is necessary to obtain settlement benefits. However, the Claim Form must be signed by you under penalty of perjury (either by hand or, if you submit it online, electronically), affirming that you are a qualified member of the Settlement Class and that the information provided therein is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge.”

This is all taken from the official site EnergyDrinkSettlement.com. Checks probably won’t be mailed out until late 2015 at the earliest.

    Come on people. Out of principal, I wont be filling one out. Why does RedBull owe me or anyone $10 or $15 voucher? And I drink this stuff by the case. Are you guys serious? Actions and events like this are a big reason why the legal system in America is almost broke. What a joke.

    PS- Jon love this website, check it weekly. Keep it up!

    Why not fill out the claim form and give the money to me? I’ll be happy to take it.

    I agree with Tyler. It is a travesty of justice that Red Bull must pay out over advertising allegations. Anyone in their right mind knows that Red Bull is merely a beverage and won’t actually “give you wings” or any other positive benefits beyond what caffeine, sugar, etc is known to give a person.
    This settlement is WRONG WRONG WRONG because it is theft and redistribution of a company’s money and it encourages other unscrupulous lawyers to persist in such frivolous lawsuits.
