(NewsNation) — The deadline is nearing for Poppi customers to submit a claim as part of an $8.9 million class-action lawsuit against the soft drink's former owners.

Earlier this summer, VNGR Beverage, LLC., Poppi's former owner, agreed to settle claims that the beverages were improperly marketed, labeled as “gut healthy."

The lawsuit stated that customers purchased the drink based on the claims from VNGR, despite there being no scientific evidence behind them.

To be eligible for a portion of the settlement's payment, customers must have purchased any flavor or package size between Jan. 23, 2020, and July 18, 2025.

The deadline to submit a claim is Sept. 26.

PepsiCo acquired Poppi in March for $1.95 billion.
