Nestle Ice Mountain Bottled Water Class Action Lawsuit

By Mike Holter

 

Nestle Mountain Ice lawsuitA class action lawsuit claims Nestlé Waters sells phony bottled spring water that’s nothing more than regular ol’ tap water.

The Nestlé Waters class action lawsuit is filed by a Chicago company that says it’s been buying 5-gallon water jugs of Nestlé Ice Mountain brand water for its office dispensers since 2008. It wasn’t until July 2012 that a company official was allegedly told by a Nestlé employee that the bottles were filled with tap water, the class action lawsuit claims.

The company is suing Nestlé for false advertising, which includes a plethora of marketing materials that tout Ice Mountain water as spring-sourced. Information on the website even goes so far as to describe the water as coming from ancient glaciers and that trickled through mineral-rich glacial gravel deposits.

The Nestlé water class action lawsuit acknowledges that many brands of bottled water do not make a spring water claim and are assumed to be repackaged tap water, but they sell for far less than Nestlé charges for Mountain Ice's so-called “100% Natural Spring Water.”

This isn’t the first time Nestlé Waters has been sued over allegations of false water labeling. In 2003, a Connecticut class action lawsuit blasted Nestlé for saying its Poland Spring brand of water came from an underground spring source “found deep in the woods of Maine” and “exceptionally well protected by nature,” when it actually came from a water well surrounded by parking lots. Nestlé settled the class action lawsuit for $10 million in discounts and charitable contributions.

The latest Nestlé bottled water class action lawsuit is filed on behalf of consumers in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Missouri who purchased Ice Mountain brand water in the 5-gallon bottles and were misled into believing they were purchasing 100% natural, spring-sourced water containing naturally occurring minerals. It is seeking punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and more.

The Nestlé Bottled Water False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit case is The Chicago Faucet Shoppe Inc. v. Nestlé Waters North America Inc., Case No. 12-cv-8199, Illinois Northern District Court, Chicago.

Then you wonder why all are jobs are going to hell and overseas. You don't come to think of the problem until you see it posted some where. What about making America stronger for our people and keeping our jobs here. You might like to know they treat there employees and the people wthin the community with the utmost respect. I have worked twice as a temp through them and couldn't ask for a better place of employment and treated just as equal as those that are hired. It just boggles my mind you didn't think twice before lawsuit was mentioned. Really I think Americans have there priorities messed up when they will considered a profit before protecting where are kids will have a future...:/ JS
