Red Bull just settled a false advertising lawsuit, and now owes anyone who bought one of its drinks between Jan. 1, 2002, and Oct. 3, 2014, either $10 cash or $15 worth of Red Bull products.

As far as I know this is only for American consumers

[talbs]

This is stupid. I never once bought a Red Bull expecting wings. Consumers that were "mislead" should also get a complimentary dunce hat to go along with that $10.

Obviously every other country needs to hop on the sue-happy American train so you can get free stuff like us.

has anyone here actually filed for their money?

[DonValentino]

I tried yesterday but it would not load

[Eagles]

I feel like its too much of a hassle. Do you need proof that you bought a redbull?

[DonValentino]

I've never bought a redbull, but it said that you didn't. I think that would be too much hassle for them. They're already paying the $13 mil, I don't think they care if you actually bought one or not.

I managed to file my claim this morning, after many attempts. All you need to do is fill out the form with your name, address, and email, and select whether you'd like $10 cash or $15 worth of Red Bull products. No proof of purchase necessary.

How do they send the cash?

I'm guessing they'll send a check

[DonValentino]

You'll get a check, and keep in mind if too many people sign up, you may get less than $10 because everyone will be getting a share of the 13m.

I think the $15 in red bull products would be better...I mean, red bull has a variety of uses.

[Eagles]

where even is the claim form?

If you actually like Red Bull, sure.

 

I don't really care for it, and I'm pretty broke, so I'd rather be reimbursed a few dollars than get a 4-pack of something I'm just going to give to my boyfriend (who can file his own claim).

[MozzarellaSticks]

I want ten dollars for free.

i think not every countries will be like USA so good can sue the company.

[Frizzle]

Basically some twat sued the company because it doesn't hold up its claims of "more energy than coffee" or some bullshit.

Like, who cares? It's got caffeine in it, just drink and be happy instead of costing people their jobs..

[Legitboi]

but wondering why take so long for consumers to make a legal complaint against red bull...... 12 years somemore.... that is very LONG!

 

nobody know this FAKE product till now?

[Eefi]

Ok good, I never bought a single can and the only times I've tried it they were free samples :E

[Dazz]

lol 'murica. I gave up energy drinks because they started fucking with my heart too much, they didn't even give me energy i just drank them cause they tasted nice

[Emily]

Meh, I don't drink energy drinks because they're usually too sweet, but I can imagine the energy drink addicts are having a great time with this lol
