The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday admonished Nevada-based company Real Water for being uncooperative in a multi-state health investigation linked to its “alkalized” water products. The company is accused of poisoning its customers, causing acute liver failure [arstechnica.com] and other serious health problems in adults, children, and pets.

On March 16, the FDA and the Southern Nevada Health District announced [southernnevadahealthdistrict.org] that they were investigating cases of acute non-viral hepatitis (resulting in acute liver failure) in five infants and children, all of whom consumed the company’s alkaline water. The water was the only common link between the five children and infants. Since then, customers have filed several lawsuits making similar claims, including three Californian women who filed a federal lawsuit [arstechnica.net] in Nevada March 22 seeking class-action status.
