A woman is concerned that it might just be a matter of time before the energy drink Celsius is the subject of another class-action lawsuit.
Celsius has certainly become a popular choice amongst consumers. Each 12 oz can is loaded up with 200 mg of caffeine which is the equivalent to about two cups of coffee.
Many people may not know how strong Celsius is at first, which could potentially lead to health issues if over consumed.
This TikTok posted by @etnalpmas urges Celsius customers to keep their receipts as she believes there will be another class action lawsuit in the future.
Has Celsius had a class-action Lawsuit before?
In the last two years, Celsius have had two class action lawsuits.
In 2022, Celsius overstated the health benefits of its products. The benefits Celsius promoted on cans included boosting metabolism, burning body fat, and weight loss. None of these claims were backed by any research or scientific studies. This class action lawsuit paid out $7.8 million to affected customers.
In 2023, Celsius once again misled customers claiming the Celsius to be preservative-free but had citric acid. The use of the synthetic citric acid was argued to for the taste but this chemical is often used for preservation. Celsius agreed to the settlement and paid out once again for misleading marketing.
Aside from these two cases, Celsius recently lost a breach of endorsement contract with musician Flo Rida.
Right now there is an open class action lawsuit against Celsius involving misinformation on sales reporting to shareholders.
