"These people were outrageous," Kemp said. There was "no safety testing, no analysis of the product to see what was in it." He said that the person who developed the water treatment process for Real Water bought the titanium tubes "from some Russian guy in the 80s" and spent four to five months making alkaline waters in his garage, working until he had a formula that didn't make him vomit or have diarrhea.

So woo-woo water with no oversight until people die from being poisoned. Science has to cone in and explain basic chemistry to these titans of industry, which they no doubt reject.

Just call it Q-water and keep it pumping. It’ll work itself out in a couple of years. Pairs well with ivermectin.

The idiots who buy this shit are the same idiots who say that regulations hurt small businesses

"RE²AL WATER"

Your honor our product clearly does not attempt to advertise itself as "real water", motion to dismiss.

These guys could have just bottled tap water with some standard treatment and would have been fine.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In an interview Friday, Kemp told Ars he represents a little over 60 of the plaintiffs, including the seven in the case that received a jury verdict this week.

"We're hoping that the punitive award sends a message to people that they should test bottled water products before they put them on the market," Kemp told Ars.

The poisonings came to light in early 2021 when the local authorities in Nevada and the Food and Drug Administration announced that at least five infants and children had suffered liver failure after drinking the water.

In May 2021, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Real Water Inc. on behalf of the FDA, alleging the company's officers, Brent Jones and his son, Blain Jones, were selling adulterated products made amid multiple manufacturing violations.

As Ars previously reported, the Joneses agreed to settle the case in June, and the DOJ bound them with a permanent injunction from ever preparing, processing, or selling water again.

A study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in November 2021 laid out 25 cases of acute liver failure linked to the water—22 in Nevada and three in California, all of which occurred at the end of 2020.

Hydrazine isn't just rocket fuel. It's a hypergolic rocket fuel, which is a particularly toxic and violent form of rocket fuel.

God damnit, I'm pretty sure this is the shit they have outside the Raiders Games in the big ass vats for people to stay hydrated. FML, I was there in August drinking that shit.

Is this what they used to make Rocket Fuel Malt Liquor?
