: Reasonable BasisCSPI v. VitaminWater
The Center for Science in the Public Interest filed a class action lawsuit against The Coca-Cola Company alleging that it misrepresents the nutritional content and health benefits of its product, VitaminWater. According to the complaint, Coca-Cola advertised and marketed VitaminWater as a healthy alternative to traditional soft drinks, when in fact it contains nearly as much sugar as a can of soda. According to the plaintiffs, Coca-Cola's use of product names such as "Rescue," "Focus," "Balance," "Defense," "B-Relaxed," and "Power-C" and claims that the product was "specially formulated" to provide some health benefit were deceptive because of the product's sugar content, approximately 33 grams per 20 ounce bottle.
