Poland Spring class action overview:
- Who: BlueTriton Brands, the parent company of Poland Springs bottled water, is facing a class action lawsuit over the quality of its bottled water.
- Why: The plaintiffs in the lawsuit claim the bottled water is advertised as “100% natural spring water” but contains microplastics and a chemical used in plastics.
- Where: The Poland Springs bottled water lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York.
Poland Springs bottled water parent company BlueTriton Brands is facing a class action lawsuit claiming that its “100% natural spring water” actually contains microplastics and a chemical used in plastics.
Microplastics have become a pervasive issue in bottled water, with particles found in more than 90% of bottled water tested, the Poland Springs class action says. Consuming microplastics can lead to health issues including heart problems, endocrine disruption and chronic inflammation, according to the lawsuit.
The water also contains phthalates, a chemical that gives plastic more flexibility, transparency, durability and longevity, the Poland Springs microplastics lawsuit says. Phthalates are linked to heart problems and hormone disruption while no level of phthalates is considered safe, the lawsuit says.
Plaintiff Jennifer Moore and class counsel have proposed both a New York and nationwide class for the class action lawsuit. Moore is asking for restitution, damages, a corrective advertising campaign and attorneys’ costs and fees.
Poland Springs natural claims lead customers to pay more, lawsuit says
The Poland Springs natural spring water claims lead consumers to pay a price premium above the cost of other bottled water, the lawsuit says.
“Labeling Poland Spring as ‘100% Natural Spring Water’ is deceptive and confusing,” the Poland Springs microplastics lawsuit says. “A reasonable consumer purchases Poland Spring believing they are getting a bottle of nothing but spring water from nature. Reasonable consumers, however, would not deem Poland Spring to be 100% natural spring water if they knew that the water in each bottle contains phthalates and microplastics.”
The company behind Fiji bottled water is also facing a class action lawsuit saying it falsely advertises its product as natural artesian water when it actually contains microplastics.

Wow..i always purchase poland spring! Please add me
Have bought Poland Springs water consistently for decades. I wonder if drinking has caused my health issues.
I always buy 40 count cases of Poland Springs. Today, I realized the bloating and heartburn I’m having is coming from the Poland Springs water. I get very dehydrated a lot and I have to drink atleast 3 to 4 16oz bottles every day or every other day. I find that my lips are constantly chapped and my throat is a bit dry even after drinking the water. I had a little bit of this water this morning to make sure I’m right about my suspicions and sure enough, my stomach began to get upset. I spend $20 to $30 a month on the 40 count cases. Now I have to throw a case and a half away.
Wow! What you described, I get the same results as well? This is a fact… My lips have been chaffing since purchasing Poland Spring Water? Also, have to drink three or more too? My Wife is having issues too?
I used to buy Poland Springs by the cases from Costco, spent well over $1000’s over years and can prove it!
The Poland springs 5 gallon bottles that I ordered from Ready Refresh has been tasting different, nasty to say the least! They are replacing the bottles from prior orders. I have been drinking the water, tolerating it because my daughter and I cannot drink facet water due to hypothyroidism. Now we’re concerned.
I only drink this water while im in NY, and ive also developed unforeseen health issues this year. Unsure if it’s related, but I found this interesting. Makes me skeptical and hesitant to continue drinking this water.
