Celsius Drink refund: How to get $250, time window and all you need to know

American consumers who may have bought a can of Celsius even once since 2015 may be eligible to receive a refund on their purchase.

Though it may come as a surprise to many, the energy drink brand has agreed to pay an amount of $250 each to customers who may have bought the drink after its debut in 2015. While any customer who purchased the drink is eligible for a refund of up to $20, those who have proof of purchase or a receipt are eligible for a maximum refund of $250.

The move comes after the brand's company agreed to settle the litigation that accused it of "misleading labeling" on its original drinks. Customers have alleged that cans of the original energy drink feature a "no preservatives" claim even when the drink itself contains citric acid.

Though the company has maintained its stance that citric acid was added for flavor and not as a preservative, it has finally agreed to a settlement, allowing both parties to avoid further litigation.

Celsius Holdings, Inc., doing business as Celsius, is widely popular for its fitness drinks, sparkling water, and other similar beverages.

The settlement allows customers who may have purchased the brand's original drinks between January 1, 2015, and November 23, 2022, to get a Cash Refund for their purchase.
