Learn More About The AllegationsKey Allegations from the Lawsuit
The lawsuit filed against the makers of Mountain Valley Spring Water makes several key claims. These are allegations based on the complaint and have yet to be proven in court. The class action complaint has been filed but not yet been certified by the Court.
Undisclosed Contaminants
The complaint alleges that **independent laboratory testing** found contaminants for which the EPA's health goal is zero, including Arsenic, Uranium, and Bromoform. Cadmium was also allegedly detected at levels exceeding California's Public Health Goal.
"No Additives" Claim
The lawsuit claims the presence of Bromoform, a chlorination byproduct, contradicts marketing that the water has "no additives of any kind" and achieves its quality via "Mother Nature" alone, as Bromoform is not naturally occurring.
Premium Price Deception
Consumers paid a premium price (4-8 times standard bottled water) based on purity claims. The lawsuit alleges this premium was not justified for water that contains the alleged contaminants and scores in the bottom 25% of waters tested by one independent group.
