Nestle faces a proposed class action lawsuit filed in California federal court by a plaintiff who claims the company concealed from the public that its Pure Life Purified bottled water contains various microplastics, including polypropylene, nylon and polyethylene terephthalate. Filed against Nestle S.A., Nestle USA, Inc. and Nestle Waters North America, the 20-page complaint cites a study conducted at the State University of New York in Fredonia that found “alarming rates” of microplastics per liter of water, with one case showing a bottle of the Pure Life Purified drinking water containing “more than 10,000 pieces of microplastic” per liter. 

The lawsuit charges that Nestle violated and continues to violate California false advertising and consumer protection laws by omitting or misrepresenting important information for consumers concerning the purity and purification of Pure Life water. Moreover, the case alleges Nestle has “intentionally, negligently and recklessly” hidden the truth about the purity of its bottled water from the public.
