f you bought at least one Red Bull between January 1, 2002 and October 3, 2014, the company owes you a $10 check or $15 worth of free Red Bull Products. It’s all due to a $13 million lawsuit the beverage company has decided to settle with Benjamin Careathers.
Careathers, a Red Bull drinker, claims that the drink maker misled him and other consumers with its slogan “Red Bull gives you wings.” He says the company advertised some of the benefits of drinking Red Bull include increased performance, concentration and reaction speed. Of course, none of this was ever proven or backed up by scientific evidence.
Bevnet.com quotes the lawsuit as determining:
A 7 oz. cup of drip coffee contains approximately 115 to 175 milligrams of caffeine, depending on the blend, and a 12 oz. serving of Starbucks coffee costs $1.85 and would contain far more caffeine than a regular serving of Red Bull. An 8.4 oz. can of Red Bull contains 80 milligrams of caffeine.
To claim your $10 cash refund, all you need to do is register online at the link below before March 2, 2015.
Again, you don’t need any proof of purchase. See the link for further details.

Why would this only be for US residents? Is Redbull owned by different companies in the USA and Canada?
Also, what happens if more than 1.3 million people claim, since that will equal more than $13 million?
At any rate, I love these lawsuits. I received a settlement as part of the lawsuit again Danone for their Activia yogurt. It's about time these companies are held accountable for their bullshit claims. Then again, I wouldn't mind if energy drinks like Red Bull were banned altogether. Those fuckers are addictive! They are also really bad for your health overall.
US courts make sense, LOL! Sometimes I just choose to over think things. Was looking into this a little further, and some sites are claiming it's not entirely true what is being stated. The $13 million settlement is indeed real, but it looks to be limited to the first 1 million people who claim.

From the article:
The Numbers Don’t Add Up
The problem is that Red Bull sells over 4.5 Billion cans annually. If we were extremely generous and assumed the average consumer purchases 50 cans per year, that would mean that at least 90 million people purchase a Red Bull each year. Even if Red Bull only gave $10 checks to the people that purchased a Red Bull in 2013 (forget everyone since 2002), they would need to pay out $900 million.
The $13 million dollar settlement won’t even cover a fraction of the claims.
Here’s The Good News:
You can register online or download their form and mail it in – if you’re one of the first million people to do so, you might get $10 or $15 worth of Red Bull products.
Just wondering, you say this would never happen in other countries, how so? I've seen similar lawsuits happen in Canada and other countries.
Trying to remember when i had my last Yeager bomb...

I got a settlement check for $60 from Airborn once because they claimed to "cure colds" for a while.
Who knew that Red Bull didn't actually give you wings. Lol.
