California and Los Angeles officials sued Coca-Cola Co. and its Mexican affiliates to eliminate bottles from Mexico that have lead-based ink in labels

Food & Drink Weekly, May 22, 2006

California and Los Angeles officials sued Coca-Cola Co. and its Mexican affiliates to eliminate bottles from Mexico that have lead-based ink in labels. The suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, said the bottles are showing up in California and violate state Proposition 65 by failing to include a warning about the toxic chemical.

The Coca-Cola Company said it would vigorously defend itself against outlandish allegations made in the lawsuit.
