What is the Zoa Energy Class Action about?
Settlement in the class action Mikhail Gershzon v. ZOA Energy, LLC, Case No. 3:23-cv-5444-JD (N.D. Cal.). The lawsuit alleges ZOA Energy drinks labeled with the statement '0 Preservatives' were misleading because the products contain citric and ascorbic acids. ZOA denies wrongdoing. ZOA agreed to create a $3,000,000 settlement fund to pay approved claims, attorneys' fees and costs, notice/administration expenses, and service awards. Payments may be reduced on a pro rata basis if valid claims exceed the available funds after deductions. Claims with receipts are capped at $150 per household; claims without receipts are capped at $10 per household. Uncashed/undelivered payments after 180 days and any remaining settlement funds will be donated (cy pres) to the Clean Label Project. Eligibility, claim review, payment timing, and any payment amount are determined by the settlement administrator, court-approved terms, or applicable refund program. Payout does not administer the settlement, determine eligibility, or guarantee payment.
