Real Water founder apologizes after drink is linked to liver failure

While those patients have recovered, five other people from two of their households also suffered symptoms such as fever, vomiting and nausea, according to the FDA.
The incidents appear to be linked to to Real Water’s Las Vegas home and office delivery service, according to Jones. The company has issued a voluntary nationwide recall “until the safety of our product is clearly established,” he said.
The FDA is still investigating the cases, but officials say they have epidemiologic information indicating Real Water’s product caused the illnesses.
“The consumption of ‘Real Water’ brand alkaline water is the only common link identified among all of these cases to date,” the FDA said last week.
Real Water is also facing a federal class-action lawsuit led by three California women — two of whom got nauseous after drinking the stuff while one spotted blood in her urine, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Real Water’s product label says its only two ingredients are purified water and potassium bicarbonate, an alkaline mineral.
While boosters of alkaline water claim it can neutralize acid in the bloodstream and help prevent conditions such as cancer and heart disease, those claims are largely not supported by credible evidence, according to the Mayo Clinic.
