If you bought Poppi beverages because you believed they were good for your gut, you’re not alone — and you might be owed money back.
A new class action settlement says Poppi falsely advertised its drinks as “gut healthy,” potentially misleading thousands of consumers. If you purchased Poppi drinks between January 23, 2020, and July 18, 2025, you could claim $5 to $16 or more, even without a receipt.
Why Was There a Lawsuit?
The lawsuit claims VNGR Beverage LLC (Poppi) used false and misleading marketing to promote its drinks as beneficial for gut health — even though plaintiffs allege the actual ingredients (like apple cider vinegar) are too minimal to have meaningful effects.
Poppi denies wrongdoing, but agreed to settle the case to avoid further litigation.
