Water Filters Leak Arsenic, Ca. Group Says

August 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Our friend Debroah Barrie sent an email about an interesting lawsuit in California regarding activated carbon water filters and Arsenic. Proctor & Gamble’s and Omnipure’s “activated carbon” filters release arsenic into water and the companies are not warning consumer of it, the Center for Environmental Health claims.
“Arsenic is present in the activated carbon used in the filers and replacement filers of defendants’ drinking water filtration systems,” the complaint states. “People who use the products, including children, consume water from the products after arsenic has leached from the products into the water.”
