Settlement Information
A settlement has been reached against Celsius Holdings, Inc. (“Defendant”) alleging Defendant labels its products misleadingly, including by describing them as containing “No Preservatives” despite containing citric acid. Defendant denies the allegations and contends that it added citric acid to its products only to add flavor and not as a preservative. The Court did not rule in favor of either side. The parties agreed to the Settlement to avoid the expense and risks of the lawsuit.
With Court approval, the Settlement provides a Cash Award to Class Members that submit a valid and timely Claim Form. Class Members who previously purchased a can of Product during the Class Period may submit a Claim to receive One Dollar ($1.00) for each can of Product. Class Members who previously purchased Celsius On-The-Go or Flo Fusion powdered drinks, which typically are sold in packages of 14, may submit a Claim to receive $5.00 per package of 14. Class Members who submit approved Claims with receipts will be capped at a Cash Award of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) per household. Class Members who previously purchased a Product but who cannot produce a receipt may submit a Claim to receive up to Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per household.
Who Is a Class Member?
You are a Class Member if you are a resident of the United States who purchased any Celsius beverage, for personal or household consumption and not for resale or distribution, including the original Celsius beverages (at times labeled “Celsius Live Fit”), Celsius Heat, Celsius BCAA+Energy, and Celsius with Stevia), as well as Celsius On-The-Go and Flo Fusion powdered drinks (“Products”), between January 1, 2015 and November 23, 2022.
