Real Water still being sold online despite recall, FDA warns
Online retailers are continuing to sell Real Water despite a recall and an ongoing investigation of whether the alkaline water manufactured by a Las Vegas-based company is linked to multiple cases of acute non-viral hepatitis, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
The agency also said in a news release that several distributors had not received notification directly from the firm about the recall and the company continues to promote the product via social media despite issuing a recall announcement.
