A class action lawsuit was filed in a court in Nevada. The lawsuit came from a group of consumers against a renowned and well-established water company by the name affinitylifestyles.com. The company is in the business of water production and was accused of negligence which resulted in health complications in some of its consumers.  In the lawsuit, it is alleged that the water sold by the affinitylifestyles.com caused its consumers liver problems with some people suffering liver damages. The company was selling its water products in Nevada and had opened shop in other areas like Arizona.
The lawsuit went to court and was heard over a period of 12 days after which a verdict was issued by a jury in Nevada. In the verdict, affinitylifestyles.com was found guilty of negligence and held liable for the damages its products caused its consumers.

Affinitylifestyle.com Response to The Lawsuit Against It
While the lawsuit against Affinitylifestyle.com was heavy with a lot of attention. The company did not make any public comment about the issue during and even after the lawsuit. The reason for this conduct remains unknown though some people view it as a way the company used to try and tone down on the whole issue of the lawsuit surrounding it.
The company has since remained silent on the matter a move that has left more questions than answers. As a consequence of this ruling, all water products belonging to Affinitylifestyle.com have been pulled of market shelves ending what many people considered as a market dominance by the company.
One thing that became so clear and apparent was the fact that affinitylifestyle.com products were proven to directly cause liver failure especially in children and hepatitis in adults. For this offence, there was very little room for the company to argue itself out of this case. Even in the lawsuit, the company lawyers did attempt to argue that the events occurring from the use of its client’s products came about as a result of unintentional negligent.
This, the lawyers did with the hope that it will help them secure a lenient punishment for their client. However, this did not happen as the punishment that their client was subjected to was much heavier than they had even anticipated earlier on. This punishment was justifiable considering the kind of harm and horror people went through because of the products sold by affinitilifestyle.com.
The case had also been heard in other places where juries listened to everything and awarded the plaintiffs in the case $3.5 billion dollars in compensation. The case has since gone silent with no more word heard regarding it.
