Claim Form Deadline: June 3, 2025
Payout: $10.00 - $100.00+
Proof required: Yes
Consumers who purchased Feel Free Wellness Tonic with kratom between March 28, 2019, and March 5, 2025, may be eligible to receive at least $10 per bottle as part of a class action settlement.
Botanic Tonics, LLC, the maker and seller of Feel Free Wellness Tonic kratom has agreed to an $8.75 million settlement in response to allegations that it failed to adequately warn consumers about the potential health risks of its kratom-infused product. The lawsuit claimed that the company marketed and sold these beverages without clearly informing buyers of possible adverse effects. Although Botanic Tonics denies any misconduct, both parties decided to settle in order to avoid the uncertainties and high costs of courts and juries.
Kratom is a popular herbal drug often marketed as a dietary supplement promoted as boosting energy, elevating mood, relieving pain, and potentially assisting with opioid withdrawal symptoms. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved kratom for any medical use and has raised concerns about its safety. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) notes that kratom can produce opioid- and stimulant-like effects, and its consumption can lead to addiction.
