A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit filed against Defendant Anheuser-Busch, LLC regarding Lime-A-Rita® and other Ritas™ Branded Drinks for alleged violations of false advertising laws for allegedly implying that that Ritas™ Brand Products contain certain distilled spirits (such as tequila) and/or wine when they do not. The Defendant denies all allegations and has settled this lawsuit to avoid further litigation. The Court has not decided who is right. If you purchased one or more Ritas™ Brand Products for personal consumption, and not for resale, from January 1, 2018 through July 19, 2022 you are included in the Settlement and may be eligible to receive a partial refund of up to $9.75 without proof of purchase, or $21.75 if you do have proof of your purchases. However, if you want to receive a payment from the Settlement, you must file a claim. To see a list of the Ritas™ Brand Products, or to file a claim, please visit www.RitasSettlement.com.
