Celsius settlement: Buyers of energy drinks may be eligible for up to $250

Celsius drinkers may be eligible for a settlement.

The settlement comes after the energy drink brand was sued over its labeling and claims the products had “no preservatives” despite containing citric acid. Celsius has denied the claims and contends that citric acid is a flavoring and not a preservative but settled the case to avoid the risk and expense of a lawsuit, according to a release.

The settlement covers 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 sold  between Jan. 1, 2015 and Nov. 23, 2022.
