A Nevada jury awarded $5.2 billion in damages to plaintiffs suffering from liver damage linked to Real Water, a bottled water brand. The jury found the company negligent after tests revealed hydrazine, a toxic chemical, in their water. This lawsuit follows previous verdicts against the company amounting to billions, amidst claims of product liability and negligence. The company has filed for bankruptcy, which may complicate damage recovery for the plaintiffs.
