The family of a woman in Central Indiana who died when a 4,100 pound pallet of bottled water fell on her at a Kroger store is suing Nestle Waters<\/a>, arguing that the reason for the accident lies in the water bottles’ “eco-shape” design<\/a>.\u00a0 According to the family, these bottles use less plastic, and therefore, can’t support as much weight as previous bottles.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m not a huge fan of bottled water, and Nestle’s motives behind this supposed “eco-friendly” water bottle design are questionable (is this simply more green washing to boost profit?) But this might just be good enough to make it onto the list of the “10 Most Ridiculous Lawsuits of All Time<\/a>.” Right up there with the one that started it all… (how dare McDonald’s serve hot <\/em>coffee without a warning label?!? And how dare Nestle serve water in a bottle that might be better <\/em>for the environment!) Apparently, “Nestle Waters didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.” Honestly, though Nestle might be among the worst corporations of 2010<\/a>, and although they might fully deserve to be sued, I can’t say I blame them.<\/p>\n

Bottled water is clearly dangerous, on multiple levels. But manufacturing bottles with more <\/em>plastic is not the solution, as it only leads to a worse fate for our planet – and the billions of people living on it. This incident is just one of several recent incidents which underscore the dangers of bottled water<\/a> –\u00a0 providing even more incentive to drop the bottled water habit, altogether..<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
