$8.75M Botanic Tonics ingredients class action settlement

Botanic Tonics agreed to pay $8.75 million as part of a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that its Feel Free Wellness Tonic contains kratom, a substance that can cause serious health risks.

The Botanic Tonics settlement benefits consumers who purchased Feel Free Wellness Tonic containing kratom between March 28, 2019, and March 5, 2025.

According to a Feel Free class action lawsuit against Botanic Tonics, the company fails to warn consumers about the dangers of kratom, an ingredient from Southeast Asia used in its products. Instead of disclosing and warning about the ingredient, which is illegal in some states, Botanic Tonics allegedly markets its Feel Free Wellness Tonic as a safe and healthy alternative to alcohol.

Botanic Tonics is a beverage company that sells a variety of wellness tonics, including its Feel Free product.

Botanic Tonics has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to an $8.75 million settlement to resolve the Feel Free class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Botanic Tonics settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the number of Feel Free bottles they purchased.

According to the settlement notice, each class member is estimated to receive between $175 and $291.66 from the settlement. Exact payments will vary depending on the number of participating class members and the number of bottles purchased by each class member.

Class members who purchased 10 or fewer bottles of Feel Free do not need to provide proof of purchase to receive reimbursement. Class members who purchased 10 or more bottles must provide proof of purchase.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 3, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the kratom class action lawsuit settlement is scheduled for June 26, 2025.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by June 3, 2025.
