The Canada Dry lawsuit claim form is no longer available. The U.S. settlement over the “Made from Real Ginger” labeling closed to new claims before final court approval in April 2019, and the separate Quebec settlement stopped accepting claims on January 15, 2021. No active Canada Dry ginger ale settlement is open for filing as of 2026.
Which Settlement the Claim Form Belonged To
Two different settlements produced two different claim forms, and both are closed.
The U.S. settlement resolved allegations that Keurig Dr Pepper deceptively marketed Canada Dry Ginger Ale as “Made from Real Ginger” when the beverage relied on ginger flavor extract rather than actual ginger root. It covered consumers who bought Canada Dry Ginger Ale — including flavored variations like Cranberry Ginger Ale and Blackberry Ginger Ale — for personal or household use during the class period. Final approval came in April 2019, and payments went out to consumers who had already filed.1Truth in Advertising. Canada Dry Ginger Ale
The Quebec settlement, administered through canadadrysettlement.ca, was a separate proceeding for consumers who purchased five or more Canada Dry Ginger Ale soft drinks in Quebec between January 14, 2016, and November 11, 2020.2Canada Dry Settlement Program.

What the Claim Form Would Have Paid
If you’re trying to confirm what you missed, the U.S. form paid roughly $0.40 per product purchased, with a $2.00 minimum. A claim filed without proof of purchase was capped at $5.20 per household. A claim backed by receipts or original packaging showing the product name, transaction date, and price could reach up to $40.00 per household.3Truth in Advertising. Canada Dry Ginger Ale Beverages
The Quebec settlement worked differently. Each valid claimant received an equal share of a $650,000 fund, up to $7.50 per person, with no separate tier for claims backed by receipts. If valid claims exceeded the fund after costs, payments were reduced proportionally.4Concilia Inc. Canada Dry Made from Real Ginger Class Action
The form itself was a sworn statement signed under penalty of perjury, asking for name, mailing address, email, and the number of qualifying units purchased during the class period. Consumers seeking the higher payout had to attach documentation.
Is There a Newer Canada Dry Case You Can Join?
A separate lawsuit, Elliot v. Keurig Dr Pepper, Inc., challenges “naturally flavored” claims on other products, including Canada Dry Diet Ginger Ale, Canada Dry Zero Sugar Ginger Ale, and several Schweppes varieties. That case covers purchases made since November 1, 2018. As of 2026, it has not produced a settlement with an open claims process, so there is no claim form to submit.
If You Already Received a Payment
Settlement payments from consumer class actions like the Canada Dry case are generally treated as taxable income. The IRS includes all income from any source in gross income unless a specific exclusion applies, and refunds for product mislabeling do not fall under the personal physical injury exclusion in IRC Section 104(a)(2).5Internal Revenue Service. Tax Implications of Settlements and Judgments For amounts between $5 and $40, the practical tax impact was minimal, but the payment should have been reported as income on your federal return for the year the check was received.
