Los Angeles County has filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Co. alleging their “significant role” in plastic pollution’s negative impacts on the environment and public health, as well as misrepresentations to the public surrounding the recyclability of plastic beverage containers and a failure to disclose environmental and health harms associated with the use of those containers.

Coke and Pepsi need to stop the deception and take responsibility for the plastic pollution problems your products are causing,” said Supervisor Lindsey Horvath.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, the county alleged PepsiCo and Coca-Cola companies have misled the public about the recyclability of their plastic bottles and downplayed the negative impacts of plastic disposal.
