Kombucha calamity

 Beverage maker Health-Ade has been hit with a proposed class action lawsuit alleging several of the company’s kombucha products contain toxic “forever chemicals.”

Alanna Morton, a New York resident, filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, claiming the company misleadingly marketed and advertised its kombucha as a “health” product even though it tested positive for dangerously high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. The lawsuit claims PFAS were found in the company’s Ginger Pineapple Belly Reset, Mint Limeade, Cayenne Cleanse, Pomegranate Berry and Strawberry Glow with bamboo extract and biotin products.
