The settlement agreement states that the defendants have also agreed to add the following disclosure to its Feel Free tonic product labels and on social media advertisements: “Warning: This product contains leaf kratom which can become habit-forming and cause serious adverse health effects. Consider avoiding this product if you have a history of substance abuse.”

A hearing is scheduled for June 26, 2025, at which the court will decide whether to grant final approval to the terms of the deal. Cash payments will be issued to eligible class members after the settlement receives the court’s final approval and any appeals are resolved.

According to the initial class action lawsuit, defendants Botanic Tonics, LLC and Hydra623 Holdings, LLC falsely advertised the Feel Free drinks as a safe, sober and healthy alternative to alcohol. Unbeknownst to consumers, the Feel Free tonics contain high concentrations of kratom—an herbal substance that carries a risk of opioid-like dependency and withdrawal symptoms, the case claimed.
