$3M ZOA Energy class action settlement

ZOA Energy agreed to a $3 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that its energy drinks contain preservatives despite being marketed as having “0 preservatives.”

The ZOA Energy settlement benefits consumers who purchased any ZOA Energy drink labeled with “0 preservatives” between March 1, 2021, and Nov. 21, 2025.

Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim that ZOA energy drinks contain preservatives despite being marketed as having “0 preservatives.” According to the lawsuit, ZOA Energy drinks contain citric and ascorbic acids, which are chemical preservatives.

ZOA Energy is an energy drink brand co-founded by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The brand sells a variety of energy drinks in different flavors.

ZOA Energy has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $3 million class action settlement to resolve these allegations.

Under the terms of the ZOA Energy settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the number of ZOA energy drinks they purchased and whether they have proof of purchase.

With proof of purchase, class members can receive $1 per unit purchased, up to a maximum of $150 per household.

Without proof of purchase, class members can receive $1 per unit purchased, up to a maximum of $10 per household.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Feb. 13, 2026.
