Consumers can file claims through February 20 before a March 26 hearing on final approval.

Overview

  • Shoppers who bought ZOA drinks labeled “0 Preservatives” between March 1, 2021, and November 21, 2025 are eligible to seek payment.
  • Claims may be submitted online now, with an exclusion deadline of February 13 for those who want to opt out of the settlement.
  • Payments are set at $1 per drink, capped at $10 per household without proof of purchase and up to $150 with receipts.
