What’s this settlement about?
On March 19, 2019, a class action lawsuit was filed against Defendant Celsius Holdings, Inc. entitled Prescod v. Celsius Holdings, Inc., in Los Angeles Superior Court of California, Case No. 19STCV09321, alleging that the “No Preservatives” claim on the front of the Products violated state consumer protection laws (including California’s False Advertising Law (“FAL”), Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17500, et. seq., California’s Unfair Competition Law (“UCL”), Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200, et. seq., and California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act (“CLRA”), Civil Code § 1750, et seq.) and common law, and that as a direct result of such violations purchasers were economically injured. On November 23, 2021, a similar class action lawsuit was filed against Defendant Celsius Holdings, Inc. entitled Hezi v. Celsius Holdings, Inc., in the New York District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 21-cv-9892. All claims from Prescod and Hezi were brought together in the Hezi matter, and Plaintiffs have amended their claims to allege other issues with the labeling of Celsius’s Products. The class action will resolve any and all claims purchasers may have with respect to the labeling of these products and Celsius has agreed, as part of the Settlement, to change its labeling.
Defendant denies any wrongdoing or liability arising out of any of the facts or conduct alleged in the Action and believes that it has valid defenses to the allegations. The Court has not decided that Defendant did anything wrong, and the Settlement does not mean Defendant broke the law. Both the Plaintiffs and Defendant believes that the Settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable and that it is in the best interests of the Settlement Class.

What is a class action lawsuit settlement?
For example, a class action lawsuit is one with multiple plaintiffs. In other words, there are more than one person being represented by the lawsuit. In other words, a plaintiff or plaintiffs file the case on behalf of many people who were affected by aren’t involved in the actual suit. For example, if you purchased an item that was later determined to be involved in a class action lawsuit, you may be entitled to compensation. If you’re included in the class or group of people affected, then you can file a claim to receive money, coupons or replacement products. But, each case is different, and each will specify who is included. In addition, class action lawsuits may require proof that you are part of the group of affected people. In this case, proof of purchase or other specified proof is needed. However, in some cases, no proof is required. In that case, you can file a claim without proving that you are part of the class of people affected. Of course, when you file a claim you are doing so under penalty of perjury. So, do not file if you do not qualify.
