To file a claim with the Fireball lawsuit claim form, confirm you bought the malt-based “Fireball Cinnamon” beverage (not Fireball Cinnamon Whisky) during the covered period, gather any receipts or card statements you have, and submit the form through the official settlement website in Mora v. Sazerac Company, Inc. before the current deadline. As of early 2026, the settlement is in its final stages of court review, so verify the deadline on the settlement site before you start.
Confirm You Bought the Right Product
Only the malt-based or wine-based “Fireball Cinnamon” is covered. The distilled Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is not. The label is the tell: packages marked “Fireball Cinnamon Whisky” are the spirit, and packages marked just “Fireball Cinnamon” without the word “Whisky” are the malt or wine version at issue in the case.1Fireball Whisky.

The malt version sits at roughly 16.5% ABV, compared to 33% for the whisky.2Journal of Business and Intellectual Property Law. Fireball Whisky Deceptive Labeling in the Alcohol Industry It is typically sold as a 50 mL bottle for around $0.99 in grocery stores, convenience stores, and gas stations that do not hold hard-liquor licenses.3Brewbound. Sazerac Hit With Class Action Lawsuit Over Malt-Based Fireball Cinnamon Product If you picked up mini bottles at a gas station or corner store, that is almost certainly the covered product. If you bought it at a liquor store or bar, it was probably the whisky, which is not eligible.
Who Can File
You qualify if you purchased the malt-based or wine-based Fireball Cinnamon in the United States for personal use between February 1, 2017, and February 10, 2023. Businesses that bought the product for resale are excluded, and so is anyone whose only Fireball purchases were the distilled whisky.
What to Have Ready Before You Start
The settlement uses a tiered structure. Claimants with proof of purchase get a higher per-bottle reimbursement than those filing without it. Acceptable proof includes store receipts, credit or debit card statements, and transaction logs that show the product name, purchase date, and store location.
No receipts? You can still file. The no-proof tier lets you claim based on your own estimate of how many bottles you bought, at a lower per-bottle rate and subject to a per-household cap. Either way, have this information on hand:
- Your full legal name as it appears on a government-issued ID.
- A current mailing address where a settlement check can reach you.
- An email address and phone number for status updates or follow-up questions.
- Your estimate of how many malt-based Fireball Cinnamon bottles or cans you bought during the covered period.
Use an address you will still have months from now. Checks go out well after final approval, and an outdated address is the most common reason people never see their payment.
Filing the Form Step by Step
The claim form lives on the official settlement website, and filing online is the fastest way through. Enter your personal information and purchase details, then choose whether you are filing with or without proof of purchase. If you have receipts or statements, upload clear images through the form.
Enter the total quantity of eligible bottles you bought during the covered window. Claims can be audited for consistency, so keep your estimate honest; inflated numbers risk rejection. Once every field is filled in, you sign digitally under penalty of perjury and submit. The system returns a unique claim ID. Save it. You will need it to check your status later.
To file on paper instead, print the form from the settlement website and mail it to the administrator at the address listed on the form. Paper submissions must be postmarked by the deadline. Online or on paper, review every field before you submit. Fixes after the deadline are hard to make and sometimes impossible.
Deadline and Where Things Stand
The original claims deadline in the settlement notice was July 11, 2023. Class action timelines shift, though, and this one has moved. As of early 2026, the settlement is in the final stages of court review and payments have not been distributed. Before you file, or before you assume the window has closed, check the official settlement website or contact the administrator for the current deadline and whether claims are still being accepted.
After You File
Payments in class settlements usually arrive several months after the effective date. The administrator verifies claims, calculates each payout against the total number of valid claims and the size of the fund, and then issues checks or electronic deposits. Your individual amount depends on how many people filed and whether you submitted proof.
If your payment does not arrive within a reasonable time after the announced distribution date, contact the settlement administrator using the phone number or email on the settlement website. Delays usually trace back to an incorrect mailing address, a claim flagged for audit, or a check returned as undeliverable. If you move after filing, update your address with the administrator right away. Sazerac’s own customer service handles product questions, not settlement claims, so anything about your claim needs to go through the administrator.
