Updates:

  • Top Class Actions readers reported this settlement paying out up to $128.75 as of Aug. 30, 2023.
  • Congratulations to everyone who filed a claim and got paid! 

  • The court granted final approval to this settlement May 31, 2023.

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.

Who’s Eligible

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.

    After trading nurmerous emails with the Director of Kroll, I Finally received my Check, even though is should have been process through Paypal. I proved that previous Settlements went through Paypal with no problems.

  2. TLM says:

    I have been in close contact with one of the Kroll Directors. Come to find out 3 of my claims were flagged and rejected because of International Payment. I assured him that my PayPal is correct. Hopefully they will get to the bottom of this to make sure Payments are processed to the Correct Paypal associated with the Claims The 3 Settlements affected are XTEND Powders, Proctor and Gamble Aerosol, and Nestle Coffemate

  3. TLM says:

    I emailed the Director of Kroll: Your office is currently handling 6 Class Actions Settlements: Google Referrer Header Privacy Litigation, Smashburger, A&W Root Beer, XTEND Workout Powders, Nestle Coffee Mate, and Procter & Gamble Benzene. According to many of the Class Members including myself are receiving rejection emails due to not responding to ” So Called Confirmation Emails ” that were Never Received in our Inbox nor Spam. I have emailed them several times with the same response ” Rejected Due to No Response “.

    I can’t believe the 100 Class Members I have communicated with all have the same concern.

    I am asking you to investigate this matter to make sure the Administrators are following the Guidelines to make sure all the Settlement Payments are being processed to the Correct Class Members and their choice of payment, PayPal, Venmo, Check, or other form of Payment.

    Hopefully this can be settled internally without taking any other action.

  4. John says:

    I have a feeling someone has sticky fingers and applying our payments to their Paypal or Venmo accounts. I can’t prove it yet, but I haven’t stopped bugging them

  5. Jenna S says:

    I filed with a max claim amount and proof of purchases, but I haven’t received anything as of yet. I came to check on when I’d receive the funding but it appears I’m not the only one having issues.

  6. TLM says:

    Got another rejecting email today stating did not respond to email in June. Funny, I get the rejecting emails, but not the others. Just filed a complaint with the FTC. Beware Kroll is handling 4 other Settlements, A&W Root Beer, Proctor & Gamble, Smashburger and Coffere Mate. Quite odd, no payments or rejecting emails from them yet.

  7. Michele says:

    I also have all my information on this…claim number, ID number payment choice and what products I purchased..everything..

  8. Michele says:

    Thanks TLM for working on this…I too have not heard back from them as promised I would within 48 hours.. The last I talked to someone was at 1-212-593-1000, her name was Kim..she said she was sending it directly to Kroll and I should give it 48 hours…It has been a week now. I am not giving up on this….ALL paypal payments need to be sent out..I first had 3 or 4 other people say they could not find that I submitted a claim….When I talked to Kim, she said the same thing….I asked her to spell the name she was putting in and she found my name after she put it in the system correctly…still have not heard from Kroll.

  9. TLM says:

    Well, no response from Kroll. Here’s my message back to them.

    To Whom It May Concern

    It’s been a week now and no response. I didn’t lose any sleep nor get my hopes up that a call or email would be coming my way. Nothing. I’ll contact the Law Firm again that you sat on this matter, along with the Federal Trade Commission concerning Kroll’s practices overall.

  10. TLM says:

    Hang in there Michele. Kroll is handing at least 4 other settlements and seems they are delaying or denying claims. I have been in contact with the Law Firms. My next step is to contact the Federal Trade Commision.

    TLM
