17 Nov 2023 --- Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo for harming consumer and environmental health with its single-use plastic packaging. The New York Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that single-use plastic produced by PepsiCo contributes significantly to high levels of plastic pollution along the Buffalo River, US. The OAG asserts that the pollution is contaminating drinking water and harming wildlife in the area. The lawsuit alleges that PepsiCo substantially causes public harm in Buffalo, has failed to warn consumers about the potential health and environmental risks of its single-use plastic packaging and misleads consumers and the public about its efforts to combat plastic pollution.
