Its strongly caffeinated drinks are now found in nearly every grocery store and convenience store in the nation.\u00a0 Despite the company\u2019s ability to sponsor manned \u201cspace jumps\u201d and other high-octane stunts, it has recently been discovered that the drink does not, figuratively speaking, give you wings.\u00a0 Instead, a class action lawsuit was filed in 2013 against the company for falsely advertising the drinks\u2019 abilities to boost performance and reaction speed.\u00a0 <strong>On October 13, 2014, the two sides finally reached a settlement in the amount of $13 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the settlement agreement, Americans who purchased Red Bull between 2002 and 2012 are eligible to receive financial compensation.\u00a0 There are two options for compensation.\u00a0 <strong>The first is $10, and the second is a free 4-pack of Red Bull.\u00a0 Eligible claimants are required to submit their application before March 1, 2015 in order to receive compensation.<\/strong>\u00a0 Many people are puzzled at this arbitrary figure of $13 million and also that there is no obvious way to prove the purchase or consumption of Red Bull in such a large time frame.\u00a0 <strong>Also complicating the issue is the fact that the company says it sold 5.387 billion cans worldwide last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one have been injured by a defective product, our highly experienced and sophisticated Boston attorneys can assist you!
