Los Angeles County sued PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, claiming the beverage giants misled the public about their plastic bottles' recyclability and downplayed plastic pollution and its negative environmental and health impacts.
"Coke and Pepsi need to stop the deception and take responsibility for the plastic pollution problems your products are causing," LA County supervisor Lindsey Horvath. "Los Angeles County will continue to address the serious environmental impacts caused by companies engaging in misleading and unfair business practices," according to the Associated Press.
