Federal Judge Closes the Door to Microplastics Suit Against Fiji Water

“Allowing a suit of this type to proceed on this basis would basically open the door to enabling any purchaser of any consumable product to file a lawsuit simply saying, ‘I bought product X, and it contains microplastics’ … and thereby get a past a motion to dismiss and into discovery and class certification proceedings,” wrote U.S. District Judge Matthew F. Kennelly.
