Berkey water filter class action lawsuit!

[Oddcaliber]

Just seen a video about Berkey water filters being in a class action lawsuit. Anyone else here has any info? The only other prepper forum that had any info was survivalist boards. However the lawsuit is coming out of California where they banned Berkey filters. Something to do with lead in the water. So what's the 411?

It's not good. It looks like Berkey was scamming people. Not wanting to do legitimate testing.

Only 2 states California and Iowa prohibits the sale of Berkey filters. The rest of the states are GTG.

Basically, One World Filter, which makes humanitarian water filter kits for people in third world countries, contracted Berkey to produce filters for them.
They are claiming fraud (for failing certification) and breach of contract (for failing to meet production requirements).

Thanks Doc. At least some light is shed on the problem. I got my Berkey years ago along with a set of replacement filters. I hope I'm good.

Mike Adams is currently testing this filter and others. Will be watching for the results.

Did you see any results, GP?
My husband was reading an article about the government trying to ban them and I was curious what the full story is.

Buy the Alexapure. It's just as good if not better.

They are a distributor for Berkey filters, they don't make them. New Millennium Concepts (NMCL) is the company that makes Berkey filters. Obviously having your distributor shut down is not good for business, but as far as I know NMCL is still going to be around.

Was just trying to pass on info to the people that use them.
