A class action lawsuit claims that CamelBak Eddy water bottles are not spill proof despite advertisements to the contrary.
Rachel Lepkowski says she purchased a CamelBak Eddy water bottle for around $15 from a sports store in California.
Before making her purchase, Lepkowski claims that she reviewed the labeling, packaging, and marketing materials for the CamelBak Eddy and saw that the water bottle was “spill proof.” She says she based her purchasing decision on these representations.
The CamelBak class action lawsuit alleges that Lepkowski understood the representations to mean that the product was free of defects that would cause water to “run, flow, or fall out of the bottle.”
However, Lepkowski says that she found the representations to be untrue because it has leaked multiple times during use.
The CamelBak Eddy water bottle class action lawsuit claims that she was financially injured because had she known that the water bottle would leak during use, she would not have purchased it or would not have paid as much for it as she had.
She says many other customers were similarly financially injured, and she seeks damages on behalf of herself and other consumers.
The water bottle leakage class action lawsuit says the CamelBak water bottles leak during normal use, as well as during altitude changes.
The CamelBak class action lawsuit goes on to claim that the bottles leak despite the fact that “leak proof” advertisements are featured prominently on the bottle’s advertising in stores as well as on the internet and in associated literature for the bottles.
Allegedly, CamelBak knew or should have known that the representations were false. To support this claim, Lepkowski notes that many consumers have complained of the leaking problem.
Lepkowski argues that despite CamelBak’s knowledge that the bottles leak, the company has not acknowledged the defect, and they have not recalled the bottles or sought to remedy the problem that the bottles are not spill proof. Allegedly, the company continues to advertise the bottles as spill proof.
The only mention of leaking on the CamelBak website reportedly appears in the Frequently Asked Questions section, in which CamelBak advises customers whose water bottles are leaking to check for a possible foreign object stuck in the rubber seal, not acknowledging that the problem may be the result of a design defect.
Lepkowski is represented by L. Timothy Fisher, Scott A. Bursor, and Neal J. Deckant of Bursor & Fisher PA.
The CamelBak Leaky Water Bottle Class Action Lawsuit is Rachel Lepkowski v. CamelBak Products LLC, et al., Case No. 3:19-cv-04598-SK, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

This is the only brand I have bought for my 3 children for school and for my husband and I since we are all big water drinkers. The last ones I bought have all leaked. Very disappointing. I thought I found a drinking bottle that was actually leakproof. Sad to say I’m on the hunt again. Please add me.

We purchased 3 for my granddaughters and they all leaked in their backpacks. Thought they would be great for school and dance class and they failed.
