ZOA Energy Class Action Settlement Overview
The ZOA Energy class action lawsuit, titled Mikhail Gershzon v. ZOA Energy, LLC, addresses concerns regarding the claims made on its product labels, particularly the "0 Preservatives" statement. Consumers who purchased these energy drinks between March 1, 2021, and November 21, 2025, may be entitled to compensation from the settlement.
Who is Included in the Settlement Class?
The settlement class encompasses all individuals in the United States who bought ZOA Energy drinks labeled as having "0 Preservatives" for personal or household use, rather than for resale. If you fall within this timeframe and purchased the product, you may qualify for a claim.
Settlement Fund Details
The total Settlement Fund is valued at $3,000,000. For those who file a claim without any proof of purchase, the compensation will be $1 for each can purchased, with a maximum payout of $10. Conversely, members who provide proof of purchase can claim $1 for each can bought, with the potential to receive up to $150 from the fund. It is vital to be aware that if the total claims surpass the available funds, the recouped amounts may be reduced proportionally.
