The lengthy lawsuit is chock full of allegations against Nestle. It looks pretty damaging!
The 325 page lawsuit claims that none of Nestle's water sources meet the federal definition provided by the FDA for spring water, and that the company “politically compromised” state regulators. The suit also claims that not only is the water not spring water, but they say it's being taken from waste and garbage dumps and then purified.
Nestle wasn't about to take these allegations lightly, however.
The lawsuit, claiming Nestle's “wells in Poland, Maine, have never been scientifically proven to be connected to a spring and draw in surface water, which cannot legally be called spring water,” was responded to firmly by company.
Nestle released a statement through a spokesperson, saying this lawsuit is “an obvious attempt to manipulate the legal system for personal gain.”
“The claims made in the lawsuit are without merit,” said the spokesperson. “Poland Spring is 100 [percent] spring water.”
The lawsuit further claims that Nestle has been selling this ‘fraud water' at a premium rate since 1998, taking advantage of millions of people. The Main Drinking Water Program has not commented on the current law suit.

that is the only bottle water I drink, Nestle. it’s the only water that taste better than the other bottle water and it’s not as expensive as other bottle water. sometimes the water tastes like burnt wire, smells like. this may not make sense to anyone, but it does to me. so if it tastes good I’ll keep drinking it.
The only water I can drink, I tried other bottle water and they taste like the water from my faucet, sometime the faucet water taste like burnt wire smells. doesn’t make sense? it does to me! Lol
