Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether PATH Water misled consumers by marketing its bottled water as environmentally superior through carbon-neutral and sustainability claims that may not accurately reflect the product’s true environmental impact.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Purchasing PATH Water because of its carbon-neutral marketing.
- Relying on claims that bottles become “carbon neutral after three refills.”
- Paying a premium for environmentally friendly packaging.
- Believing the product significantly reduced their environmental footprint.
- Learning that carbon-neutral claims may depend on assumptions or offset programs that were not clearly disclosed.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Consumers often pay more for products marketed as environmentally sustainable. If carbon-neutral claims depend upon assumptions regarding consumer behavior, carbon offsets, or lifecycle calculations that were not adequately disclosed, purchasers may have paid a premium based on misleading advertising.
Potential Claims May Include
- False advertising
- Misleading environmental claims
- Consumer protection violations
- Breach of express warranty
- Unjust enrichment
Signs You May Be Affected
You may be affected if:
- You purchased PATH Water because of its environmental marketing.
- You relied on carbon-neutral or sustainability claims.
- You paid more because you believed the product was environmentally superior.
- You would have paid less—or not purchased the product—had you known the full basis for the environmental claims.
