Nestlé USA Faces New York Lawsuit Over Misbranding Perrier As Mineral Water
A lawsuit filed by an individual in New York federal court is alleging that Nestle USA has misbranded Perrier brand of bottled water because the spring from which it originates, in Vergeze in France, is contaminated and its water must be treated. The need to treat and filter water violates both French and US regulations for mineral water. Nestlé has yet to respond but its website states that food safety requires that “practices at some of our waters production sites may not be in line with the applicable regulatory framework.” Complainant Kevin O’Rourke seeks to represent a class of consumers in New York who bought the product. A few weeks ago, Le Monde and Radio France published a report that revealed a government investigation into water companies’ regulatory violations. In February, an international consumer protection organization said it would file a lawsuit against the company and a bottler for the same issue.
