U.S. group sues Coke over VitaminWater health claims | U.S. | Reuters

A group has filed a class-action lawsuit against the Coca-Cola company concerning deceptive health claims for the VitaminWater beverages.

"Coke markets VitaminWater as a healthful alternative to soda by labeling its several flavors with such health buzz words as 'defense,' 'rescue,' 'energy,' and 'endurance,'" the group said in a statement.

The company also claims the drinks reduce the risk of chronic disease and eye disease, promote healthy joints and support immune function, CSPI said.
