Wren v. Affinitylifestyles.com, et al.

VERDICT

Trial
05/31/24 – 06/14/24

Summary

In this product liability, damages-only trial, 8 plaintiffs allege that defendant Affinity LifestylesÂ’ Real Water product caused their acute liver failure. Real Water, a high alkaline health drink, was contaminated by toxic hydrazine during the manufacturing process. This hydrazine led to plaintiffs suffering severe liver damage, with some requiring transplants.

Affinity Lifestyles concedes liability but emphasizes that standard water testing does not detect hydrazine, so they should not be liable for punitive damages.

Outcome

Verdict for plaintiff.
Total damages: $3,093,750,000.
Including $93,750,000 in compensatory damages and $3 billion in punitive damages.
