The company claimed that Seven Up supplied contaminated Aquafina Table Water to its officials.
The plaintiff is now seeking an order compelling the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to release on oath, the report of Laboratory analysis on Aquafina Table Water, via its Notice of Complaint.
The applicant in an affidavit sworn to by its Managing Director, Ibrahim Yaro, alleged that sometime between November and December 2015, his company purchased Aquafina Table Water from Gjonny Enterprises, an accredited distributor of Seven-Up Bottling Company Plc.
The company said that it was shocked when informed by the owners of the Vessel M.T.
Marina that the Aquafina Table Water was contaminated.
The applicants thereafter, lodged a complaint to the Director of NAFDAC in Apapa, and officials of NAFDAC investigation and Enforcement directorate, recovered from the applicants company 22 packs of 150cl Aquafina Table Water.
He said that after laboratory analysis by NAFDAC, the representatives of the manufacturer were informed that the result certificate of the analysis would be ready within one month of the sample taken.
Marina which had over six vessels working in Nigeria.
He said that they were accused of negligence and collusion in the entire saga.
Yaro averred further that following the situation, his good business name, image and reputation that have been built over 8 years were greatly damaged.

And there is a lot of science, as well.
It is preparing a report on the water monitoring science it carries out, part of its permit renewal process.
The company hosted a stakeholders presentation Tuesday morning, and a media briefing Tuesday afternoon at the Puslinch Community Centre, just up the road from the company’s Aberfoyle bottling plant.
Nestlé has just two active wells in the county, one near its Aberfoyle plant, the other in Hillsburgh, just outside of Erin.
That data shows that pumping levels fluctuate annually, and even daily, depending on demand for bottled water.
Water levels are constantly monitored, Neville said.
The company carries it out at both sites to determine if there are any long-term changes to the biological communities present near the water source.
Consistently since 2007, those ecosystems have consisted of 90 per cent native species.
Rob Aitken was asked if there was cause for concern related to any invasive species.
Neville was asked about the impacts of drought on the water quantities in the aquifers.

Daydream Island set for evacuation: Guests on bottled water.
DAYDREAM Island Resort is set to be evacuated after the exclusive getaway destination’s water supply was damaged by Tropical Cyclone Debbie.
However guests stuck at the resort may face lengthy delays as the rain and wind following the now ex-cyclone’s tail continue to hamper efforts.
"At this stage, it is not certain when that will be possible as weather conditions in the region are still not ideal," a Daydream Island spokesman said of the evacuation measures.
"Efforts are also being hampered by damage to key transport infrastructure on Daydream and in the region.
We are hoping to get further clarity later today as to when commercial flights will resume out of the Whitsundays."
"Town water supplies have been interrupted to the island.
Bottled water is being provided to guests and we are endeavouring to make them as comfortable as possible.
"We’d like to thank all our guests for their ongoing patience and cooperation during this difficult time."

Niagara Bottling will begin production later this spring in a $78 million, 554,000-square-foot building it purchased in Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park, located in Marshall County less than three miles southeast of Collierville.
The state of Mississippi, the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Tennessee Valley Authority and the county all may provide aid and incentives for the company, which is hiring 38 workers.
Niagara initially will use up to 400,000 gallons of water a day provided by the Marshall County Water Association, which has two 650-foot-deep wells that the tap the Lower Wilcox aquifer.
The plant’s opening comes amid renewed concerns about the local aquifers — especially the Memphis Sand — that provide high-quality water for local utilities and industries.
Less certain, however, is the extent to which aquifers could sustain further pumping if water-bottling operations proliferate in the area, Waldron and other officials say.
Already, Niagara has indicated it might want to increase production in the future, Meadows said.
"We haven’t guaranteed them anything for that."
The Lower Wilcox is deeper than and distinct from the Memphis Sand, the saturated strata that supplies Shelby County utilities and industries with some 180 million gallons daily, Waldron said.
But in Marshall County, where there is little or no dense clay deposits separating them, the two aquifers possibly are somewhat connected, he said.
Efforts to contact representatives of the Ontario, California-based Niagara for comment were unsuccessful.

ABRHS seniors, Rychlik and Chantal Raguin are asking their peers to join the "Get On Tap" movement in order to reduce the school district’s reliance on bottled water.
The two will host a series of events promoting the use of local water in the regional school district.
"Tapped" (2009) Documentary Screening taking place on Monday, April 10, at 7 p.m, in the ABRHS cafeteria, located at 36 Charter Road in Acton.
The idea to ban plastic water bottles in the school district was conceived by Rychlik and Raguin almost a year ago, but after researching more about how to actualize change, the girls thought the significant undertaking would be more appropriate for their senior project.
Rychlik and Raguin are promoting policy change and community-wide education around banning plastic water bottles to help save the environment.
"In general, it was really well received, I think primarily because we began the presentation with the donation of a reusable water bottle filler for the junior high," said Rychlik, noting they received a $1,000 grant from The U-Project through Acton’s Danny’s Place Youth Services (DPYS).
They sort of adopted it as a project now," said Rychlik, noting now that the policy is out of her and Raguin’s hands, they’re focusing on the promotional week to help the community transition from bottled water to tap water.
Concord’s ban In 2012, Concord was successful in banning water bottles throughout town.
"Chantel and I are both really into environmental science and sustainability, so we’ve never been heavy users of plastic water bottles, but we’ve sort of rediscovered Concord’s ban against bottled water," said Rychlik, adding that she and Raguin researched Jill Appel, the lead activist for Concord On Tap, for guidance on launching a "Get On Tap" movement in Acton-Boxborough schools and also for Appel to be a guest speaker during the promotional week next month.
Working with your best friend about something you are passionate about, plus meeting all sorts of hard-working and inspiring people along the way — it doesn’t get much better that that," Raguin said.

The average St. Catharines resident’s water bill will go up $15 this year after city council passed water and wastewater rates Monday.
Broken down, the hike is an estimated $4.39 for tap water and $10.70 for wastewater, for a total $15.09.
To get a sense of how much people are really paying for water, city staff compared the cost of St. Catharines tap water with bottled water.
The same amount of St. Catharines tap water costs a little more than five cents.
“If you were only buying bottled water, that works out to about $182 a year.
When you compare this to tap water, that would equal about $4.93,” she told council.
With the increased bills, St. Catharines ratepayers will pay an average $778.44 total a year for 174 cubic metres of water and wastewater.
City council was told the average $778.44 bill is the second lowest of 11 comparator single-tier and lower-tier municipalities.
It was also the second-lowest bill of nine Niagara municipalities.
Based on average water/wastewater bill for consumption of 174 cubic metres Fort Erie – $1,305.74 Port Colborne – $1,142.79 (2016 rates) Welland – $1,058.29 Niagara-on-the-Lake – $986.03 Niagara Falls – $881.07 (2016 rates) Thorold – $865.04 (2016 rates) Lincoln – $853.83 St. Catharines – $778.44 Pelham – $682.83 — From City of St. Catharines, March 27, 2017

State of Michigan avoids making home water deliveries in Flint, forced to pony up another $47 million.
The State of Michigan settled a federal lawsuit this week that allows them to avoid having to make home deliveries of water to Flint residents without safe drinking water but compels them to spend $47 million in an attempt to do right by the beleaguered city: The state will allocate $87 million for the City of Flint to identify and replace at least 18,000 unsafe water lines in Flint by 2020 under a proposed settlement of a federal lawsuit that also provides the state with a road map to end free distribution of bottled water later this year.
But the plaintiffs get a schedule for water line replacements while the state gets a schedule for weaning Flint off the community resource stations where bottled water, water filters and filter replacement cartridges are now distributed free of charge.
The centers could close as early as Sept. 1, subject to test results on Flint tap water.
The Detroit Free Press reports that, “the agreement calls for replacement of 6,000 lines by Jan. 1, 2018, and at least 6,000 more lines each of the two following years, with all lines covered by the agreement replaced by Jan. 1, 2020.
Here are some of the details, from reporting by MLive: The full settlement document includes: A requirement that the state allocates $87 million to pay for the replacement of lead and galvanized water service lines — at least $47 million of which must come from sources other than those approved by Congress and President Barack Obama last year.
This is a step in the right direction.
However, as we all know, had this happened in one of Michigan’s more affluent communities, they wouldn’t have to wait for three years to have their problem solved.
This is the most blatant example of environmental injustice happening in the country right now and we need to make sure that it doesn’t go down the memory hole until the people of Flint have been made whole.
[PROGRAMMING NOTE: On April 9th, LOLGOP and I will be traveling to Flint for some interviews to be aired on our podcast on April 10th.]

Study Finds More Than 24,000 Chemicals In Bottled Water: Which Ones Are Harming You?.
Of the 24,520 suspect chemicals found to be present in bottled water, the one that showed consistent results and illustrated anti-androgenic and anti-estrogenic activity is di(2-ethylhexyl) fumarate (DEHF).
Researchers used spectrometric simulation to narrow down their findings to DEHF as the only possible EDC giving rise to harmful activity.
DEHF is also known as an anti-estrogenic compound, which means that another unidentified EDC must be present in the samples that showed anti-androgenic activity.
Using a similar approach, a series of studies reported a widespread estrogenic contamination of commercially available bottled water.
Most of the products were potently antiestrogenic and antiandrogenic in the bioassays.
An increasing number of in vitro studies reports the presence of EDCs in bottled water.
With previous studies focusing on estrogenicity, the present work provides evidence for an additional contamination with steroid receptor antagonists.
Moreover, the antagonist activity was very potent.
Bottled water from six different countries has been found to contain estrogenic, antiestrogenic, and antiandrogenic (this study), as well as androgenic, progestagenic, and glucocorticoid-like chemicals.

Behrend student collects thousands of bottles of water for Flint, Michigan.
The 19-year-old sophomore and political science major will deliver more than 3,000 bottles of water to Flint in April.
@ETNWeiss When Penn State Behrend sophomore Seun Babalola was a summer intern for Hillary Clinton during her presidential campaign, the 19-year-old sat in on a meeting in New York City that he’ll never forget.
It made an immediate impact on Babalola.
"If I’m able to open up a bathroom and drink water, and someone in the United States hasn’t been able to do that for the past three years, that’s not going to sit well with me.
I’m going to try to help," said Babalola, who recently held a fundraiser for Flint, collecting more than 3,000 bottles of water and $300 that he plans on delivering to Michigan in April.
He solicited donations from one of several fundraising tables that Behrend keeps inside the Reed Union Building.
Flint is one of a dozen cities and communities in the Erie Vital Signs project, which tracks trends and community indicators in the region’s critical areas and compares those numbers in similar areas with Erie.
He is aiming for a career in civil rights law, and to later work as a university professor.
