In the lawsuit, Attorney General Letitia James is demanding the company address plastic pollution in the Buffalo River
The New York State Attorney General has set her sights on snack and soda giant PepsiCo in a groundbreaking lawsuit accusing the company of excessive pollution and endangering public health with its single-use plastic products.
Filed in Erie County and announced Wednesday, the suit is among the first in the nation to target a major plastics producer, and seeks to force the company to help clean up contamination and pay for damages caused, in part, by their products along with Buffalo River and in the surrounding region.
It also seeks an order barring the sale of single-use plastics by the company unless they are packaged with warnings detailing the environmental and health hazards they present, state Attorney General Letitia James’ office said in a release Wednesday.
Everything was better with returnable, refillable glass bottles.

Is New York going to sue the automotive industry for polluting the air ?
Of course !!
Pepsi is HQ in suburban NY, north of NYC. May be time to make noises about relocating to a friendlier business climate….
They will sue TRUMP of course !!!!!
They should move to a friendlier area. There are many states thar would welcome Pepsico and their jobs and their tax revenues.
