Si a usted le gustaría hablar con un operador en vivo en español, llame al (877) 495-1568. A settlement, set forth in a Stipulation of Settlement (“Stipulation”), has been reached in two cla** action lawsuits alleging that Red Bull North America, Inc., Red Bull Distribution Company, Inc., and Red Bull GmbH (collectively, “Red Bull”), misrepresented the functional benefits and safety of energy beverages marketed and distributed under the brand name Red Bull, including any variations, formats or line extensions thereof. Red Bull denies any wrongdoing or liability and while Red Bull believes that its marketing and labeling have always been entirely truthful and accurate, it confirms that all future claims about the functional benefits of its products will be medically and/or scientifically supported. The settlement will provide Cla** Members (as defined below) who timely submit a valid Claim Form (as defined in the Stipulation) with the option of receiving a cash payment or free Red Bull products. If you are a Cla** Member, you may send in a Claim Form to receive a cash payment or free product. A Claim Form can be obtained at www.energydrinksettlement.com, by calling (877) 495-1568 or by writing to the Cla** Action Settlement Administrator at Energy Drink Settlement, c/o GCG, P.O. Box 35123, Seattle, WA 98124-5123. Before any money is paid, the Court will have a hearing to decide whether to approve the settlement. Am I a Cla** Member? You are a Cla** Member if you purchased a Red Bull energy beverage between January 1, 2002 and October 3, 2014. For persons specifically excluded from the cla**, please view the long form notice on the settlement website. What Does the Settlement Provide? Red Bull agreed to distribute to Cla** Members cash reimbursements or free products, the total amount of which shall not exceed $13 million in value. Cla** Members who submit a valid and timely Claim Form may elect to receive either: (1) a cash reimbursement (in the form of a check) of $10.00; or (2) free Red Bull products (either Red Bull ® Energy Drink or Red Bull ® Sugarfree, as selected on the Claim Form) with a retail value of approximately $15.00 (the “Product Option”). Product packaging (e.g. a four-pack) and sizing (e.g. 8.4 ounce cans) shall be determined by Red Bull at its discretion after the final value of the Product Option has been determined. The free Red Bull products selected on the Claim Form will be shipped by Red Bull directly to Cla** Members at Red Bull's cost. However, if shipment of Red Bull products to a particular Settlement Cla** Member is not feasible or commercially reasonable, then Red Bull may substitute cash reimbursement for that particular Settlement Cla** Member. Under the terms of the settlement, certain conditions may lead to Cla** Members with valid claims receiving either less or more than these amounts. Red Bull has updated its marketing materials and product labeling, and confirms that all future claims about the functional benefits of its products will be medically and scientifically supported. What are my options? To ask for a payment or free Red Bull products and remain in the Settlement Cla**, you must mail a Claim Form or submit a completed Claim Form online at www.energydrinksettlement.com no later than March 2, 2015. If you do not wish to participate in the settlement, you may exclude yourself by April 1, 2015, or you may stay in the Settlement Cla** and object by April 1, 2015. Visit www.energydrinksettlement.com or call (877) 495-1568 for important information about the settlement.The Court will hold a hearing on May 1, 2015 to consider whether to grant final approval of the settlement and whether to grant Cla** Counsel's request for attorneys' fees and expenses, not to exceed a total of $4,750,000.00, and incentive awards of $5,000 to each of the three cla** representatives. All attorneys' fees and expenses and incentive awards will be paid by Red Bull in addition to – and separate from – the cash and products being distributed to Cla** Members.
