Cali mom sues Nalgene over not disclosing chemical leeching
The woman, Lani Felix-Lozano, claims that Nalge Nunc International Corp, makers of the ubiquitous Nalgene water bottles, knew about the fact that the Bisphenol A present in its product could leech into the liquid and harm people's health. Lozano purchased the bottles and had been using them for herself and her two daughters, aged 11 and 13. The company says it plans to phase out the bottles that contain the chemical over the next few months. But the real issue - and the reason Felix-Lozano is suing - is the claim that the company was aware of the studies linking Bisphenol A to early puberty, hormone disruptions, and cancer - but did nothing about it, continuing to claim that the bottles were perfectly healthy.
The suit, however, does not specify whether Felix-Lozano or her daughters experienced any ill health effects from the product. Hmm..
