A federal judge in Connecticut refused to dismiss a long-running lawsuit accusing the former Nestle Waters North America of defrauding consumers by labeling its Poland Spring bottled water as "spring water.

A federal judge in Connecticut has declined to dismiss a class-action lawsuit against Poland Spring, a brand owned by Nestlé, which alleges that the company misleadingly labels its water as "100% natural spring water" when it might actually be sourced from groundwater. The lawsuit, filed by consumers, claims that Poland Spring's water does not meet the legal definition of spring water, which should naturally flow to the surface from an underground formation. The judge's decision allows the case to move forward, focusing on whether Poland Spring's marketing and labeling practices are deceptive. Poland Spring has maintained that their water is sourced from springs in Maine, but the plaintiffs argue that the company uses wells, not springs, and that the water is not naturally flowing to the surface. This case could have significant implications for how bottled water is marketed and labeled in the U.S.
