company is deceiving consumers about its water sourcing. The company was sued in 2003 when a group of plaintiffs alleged that the water used for its Poland Spring brand was marketed as being sources from a spring found deep in the woods of Maine and exceptionally well protected by nature. In actuality, the water came from a well surrounded by parking lots. NWNA settled the case for $10 million in discounts and charitable contributions.
