Lawsuit

California, United States, January 16: An American advocacy group on Thursday sued the Atlanta based soft drink giant, Coca-Cola’s line of VitaminWater beverages for deceptive and unsubstantiated claims.

The class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California.

The Center for Science in Interest (CSPI) based in Washington, D.C, said that the labeling of the VitaminWater misled the public by claiming that it can cut down on the risk of chronic diseases, promote healthy joints and support optimal immune function.
