ZOA Energy, co-owned by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, will pay $3 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over false advertising claims.Summary
ZOA Energy, an energy drink brand co-owned by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, has agreed to a $3 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit alleging deceptive marketing practices. The lawsuit claimed that ZOA Energy falsely advertised its drinks as “preservative-free,” despite containing citric and ascorbic acids, which are considered chemical preservatives. While ZOA Energy denies any wrongdoing, maintaining that its labeling is truthful and compliant with the law, they have agreed to settle the case.
Consumers who purchased ZOA Energy drinks labeled “0 preservatives” between March 1, 2021, and November 21, 2025, may be eligible for a cash payment. Those with proof of purchase can receive $1 per unit purchased, up to a maximum of $150 per household, while those without proof can receive up to $10.
Potential class members must submit a claim form by February 20th, and the final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for March 26th. The settlement amount will only be distributed if the court grants final approval and any subsequent appeals are resolved in favor of the settlement.
