ZOA Energy Drink Settles Preservative Lawsuit, Offers Payouts
•
ZOA Energy Drinks, co-owned by Dwayne The Rock Johnson, agreed to a $3 million settlement over misleading preservative claims. Despite labels stating zero preservatives, the drinks contain citric and ascorbic acids, which act as preservatives. The settlement creates a fund for buyers, lawyers, and admin costs, with leftovers going to the Clean Label Project. U.S. residents who bought the drinks from March 2021 to November 2025 can claim up to $150 per household with receipts or $10 without. The final approval hearing is March 26, 2026, and opt-out by February 13, 2026, to pursue individual cases. Checkout Solipillow.com
