Woodbolt agreed to pay $3 million as part of a settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it falsely advertised XTEND workout powders as having “0 calories.” Class members may claim up to $25 without proof of purchase.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased certain XTEND products from Woodbolt or through third-party sellers, including Amazon, between July 28, 2014, and Jan. 24, 2023.

A full list of covered products is available on the settlement website.

Plaintiffs in the false advertising class action lawsuit accused Woodbolt of misleading customers by promising that XTEND products have “0 calories.” Despite these claims, supported by the Atwater calorie calculation method, testing of the products allegedly showed the products were not zero calories as promised. 

XTEND workout powders offer hydration, recovery and protein benefits to active consumers. The products come in a number of flavors.

Woodbolt hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $3 million class action settlement to resolve these false advertising allegations.

Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive $0.50 per purchased package. 

Class members who have proof of purchase can claim up to 100 products, for a maximum payment of $50 per household. Those without proof of purchase can claim up to 50 products, for a maximum payment of $25 per household. 

Actual payments may be higher or lower depending on the number of claims filed with the settlement.

Woodbolt agreed to modify its XTEND labeling and website to better reflect the way it calculates calories in its products. This updated language will inform customers that different calorie calculation methods may have different results.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is April 24, 2023.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for May 31, 2023.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by April 24, 2023.
