Jury awards $3.8B to plaintiffs in Las Vegas-based Real Water company lawsuit
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A jury in southern Nevada awarded over 60 victims $3.8 billion on Friday in a lawsuit against Las Vegas-based company Real Water.
The now-bankrupt company's product was linked to liver illnesses and autoimmune diseases.
In the most recent case, a jury found Real Water liable for product defects, and reckless disregard for consumer safety.
'Real Water marketed itself as a healthy product, but in reality, it was poisoning people. This verdict sends a clear message—companies that put profits over people will face the full force of justice,' Robert Eglet, the lead attorney, said.
In June 2021, the FDA announced that Real Water had agreed to cease operations until they could comply with federal regulations.
In August 2021, the company officially filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In June 2024, a jury awarded $3 billion in damages to eight other Las Vegas residents who sued Real Water. In October 2023, a $228 million settlement was also reached, and in October 2024, $5.2 billion was awarded to 15 plaintiffs.
