A while back I discussed legal disputes against manufacturers such as Dannon the yogurt maker, Kellogg`s and Snapple. The three separate lawsuits were started due to misleading or deceptive advertising and marketing campaigns.

Typically, such suits challenge a companies claim to their product for example, that the product is all natural, or that it provides a certain health benefit.

The latest suit in America has been started by the Centre for Science in the Public Interest. The suit involves Coca-Cola`s brand of Vitaminwater. Aside from the obvious, its name, the product is marketed and advertised in a manner that gives the perception it is a healthy drink. Just take a look at the label.

Surprisingly, Coca-Cola in defending the lawsuit claims, no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage" as reported in the Huffington Post. Also, Coca-Cola`s court application to dismiss the claim was not granted by the court.

This will be an interesting lawsuit as Vitaminwater clearly seems to be a product that provides health benefits. Incidentally, Dannon ended up paying out $35 million dollars because of the lawsuit it faced.
