A class-action lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Connecticut Superior Court alleging that the Nestlé Waters North America unit of Swiss food and beverage company Nestlé misled consumers over the naturalness of its Poland Spring bottled water.

Suits were also filed against the company in New Jersey Superior Court and Massachusetts Superior Court.
