Get ‘forever chemicals’ out of bottled water!
PFAS detected in most bottled water tested

Forty-three of the 47 bottled waters Consumer Reports tested had detectable levels of PFAS. These chemicals have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and other serious health problems in people with prolonged exposure. The EPA has refused to set limits on these ‘forever chemicals,’ but that shouldn’t stop the bottled water industry from getting them out of the water they sell.

Sign our petition to the International Bottled Water Association to adopt a more stringent standard for PFAS in bottled water — guaranteeing no measurable levels of these chemicals in the water we buy!

Target: International Bottled Water Association

As a consumer of bottled water, I am asking your organization to require a strict limit for PFAS — known as ‘forever chemicals’ — in the water your members sell. Consumer Reports’ new testing found detectable levels of PFAS in 43 of the 47 bottled waters it tested, with several brands well above the scientist-recommended 1 part per trillion limit. 

Since these chemicals are notorious for failing to break down in the human body, and prolonged exposure can lead to serious health problems like cancer and birth defects, I ask your organization to set a limit of no measurable PFAS in the water your members sell. Consumers need faith that bottled water is safe and free of health risks.

By submitting this form, I agree to the terms of Consumer Reports' Privacy Policy and User Agreement.
