You could get $150 as part of a settlement with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's energy drink company – 10tv.com
WASHINGTON — A popular energy drink brand co-owned by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has agreed to a $3 million settlement to resolve claims that its energy drinks were deceptively marketed.
The lawsuit was filed in 2023 over misleading advertisement for ZOA Energy drinks. Packaging for the beverages labels them as having “0 preservatives,” according to a settlement website.
The case, Gershzon v. ZOA Energy, LLC, alleged that labeling on certain ZOA Energy drinks was misleading because the products contain citric acid and ascorbic acid, which the plaintiff claimed function as preservatives.
ZOA Energy, a brand co-owned by actor and former professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, denied the allegations and said its labeling and marketing are truthful and compliant with the law.
The court did not rule on the merits of the claims, but the parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost and risk of continued litigation, according to the settlement materials.
ZOA Energy agreed to the settlement without admitting wrongdoing, according to court records.
Under the agreement, ZOA Energy will create a $3 million settlement fund to cover payments to eligible consumers, attorneys’ fees and costs, administrative expenses, and service awards to the class representative.
Any unclaimed or uncashed funds will be donated to the Clean Label Project, a nonprofit focused on food labeling and transparency.
The settlement applies to U.S. residents who purchased any ZOA Energy drink labeled “0 Preservatives” between March 1, 2021, and Nov. 21, 2025.
Consumers who submit claims with receipts may receive up to $150 per household. Those without receipts may receive up to $10 per household. If approved claims exceed the available funds after expenses, payments will be reduced on a prorated basis.
Claims must be submitted online at the settlement website or by mail by Feb. 20, 2026. Consumers who do nothing will remain part of the settlement but will not receive payment and will give up the right to sue ZOA Energy over the same claims.
Those who want to opt out or object to the settlement must do so by Feb. 13, 2026. The final approval hearing is scheduled for March 26, 2026, at 10 a.m. PT.
