Red Bull has agreed to pay over $13 million to settle a proposed class action lawsuit that claims the energy drink company misrepresents the functionality and safety of its Red Bull energy drinks. The proposed settlement could potentially consist of a payout for millions of individuals who bought at least one Red Bull can in the past 10 years. If you made retail purchase of Red Bull products in the United States between January 1, 2002 and October 3, 2014, then submit a valid claim form on or before March 2, 2015 on EnergyDrinkSettlement.com to be eligible to receive a cash payment or free Red Bull products through the Red Bull Energy Drink Settlement.

The Red Bull class action lawsuit took matter with the beverage maker’s assurances that “Red Bull gives you wings” and that it “vitalizes body and mind” because of its exclusive blend of ingredients that can apparently improve a consumer’s physical and mental performance. The company even markets its drinks as offering more of a boost than coffee does. The company’s “deceiving” slogan can be seen on various marketing materials such as social media, television commercials, events, athlete endorsements, etc.


As per the class action lawsuits, no scientifically trustworthy studies have been found that support Red Bull’s claims that the energy drink is better than the cheaper alternatives. The class action lawsuits made claims for breach of express warranty, unjust enrichment and breach of different states’ consumer protection laws. The energy drink maker denies any wrongdoing and maintains that its marketing and labeling have always been candid and right, but has agreed to settle the misleading marketing class action lawsuit to stay away from the burden, expenditure and risk of ongoing proceedings.

If you are a qualified settlement class member and submit a claim form, then you can prefer to get one of the following two benefit choices:
  • A cash reimbursement (in the form of a check) of $10; or
  • Free Red Bull products with a retail value of around $15.
Note that if the total amount of claims submitted goes over the class action settlement funds available, then the actual value of benefits each class member receives would be decreased.
