Vitaminwater lawsuit asserts that name is misleading

The days of Vitaminwater being marketed as a sports drink could be numbered. A U.S. District Court judge recently decided to allow a class-action lawsuit against Coca-Cola to proceed.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest filed the lawsuit in January 2009, arguing that Coca-Cola is violating consumer-protection laws by failing to overtly acknowledge the sugar content in its bottled drink.
