NEW YORK (WKBW) — New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo Inc. James announced the lawsuit Wednesday at Canalside alongside state and local leaders.

The lawsuit alleges that hundreds of PepsiCo products have been found along the Buffalo River and caused public harm in Buffalo. "And at the end of the day people that produce things have a responsibility for the things that they produce and this announcement demonstrates that no corporation how big or small how powerful or wealthy they may be in above the law," Assemblymember Jon Rivera said.

In addition, the lawsuit charges PepsiCo with failing to warn consumers about the potential environmental and health risks of its single-use plastic packaging.

found along the Buffalo River

So, 150 miles of folks chucking their empty cans by the water and it's Pepsi's fault.

Remember that movie... “Escape from New York” ?

When it first came out , everyone wondered how NY could be turned into a huge prison and cut off from the rest of the country, and why it would be NY.

Now we know.

That's some next-level thinking from this dope. Sounds like another grifting opportunity from an AG of the protected class.

Hmmm... does beer come in plastic bottles? Honest question. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. Aluminum cans yes. They can be recycled but of course they can also be thrown out of car windows. Maybe aluminum cans are made of all earth minerals so less toxic (except perhaps the coatings and ink). Glass, even if thrown out the window or fall off a trash hauling boat, will eventually break down back into fine grains or become habitat for fish.

I really wish one of these CEO’s being targeted by politicians would stand on principle for once in their miserable lives.

In an effort to mitigate any damages from this lawsuit, Effectively immediately NO Pepsico Products will be produced, delivered or sold in the State of New York

“When is someone going to investigate her?”

Hopefully starting on January 20, 2025.

If/WHEN Trump is sworn in, I hope he makes all the demsheik’s nightmares come true by going full Atilla the Hun on all them.

Using her theory wouldn’t government be responsible for the failure of the education system leading to poverty and crime? Turn out the lights and stick a fork in NY because it’s done…….
