The Food and Drugs Authority and Voltic Ghana Limited have been sued for deception and unfair trading.
Century Investment Limited which has dragged them to the Kumasi High Court has also sued six other companies which have the franchise for producing Voltic Mineral Water.
The other companies are Nivaansh Manufacturing Limited, A.R. Zare, Adat Water Limited, Straight Gate Ministry, Tasty Urban Water Limited and Right River Enterprise.
The plaintiff argues that the current arrangement under which the six companies produce sachet water under the label ‘Voltic Cool Pac’ constitutes “unfair trading, deception of consumers and passing off”.
It is asking for an order of injunction to restrain the companies from producing sachet water under the said label or brand name. The plaintiff is also demanding damages and cost. The FDA and Voltic have not reacted to the suit.
