Why Dasani water is reportedly bad

As the pandemic started earlier last year, because of its bad reputation stemming from allegations that a batch of Dasani water was tainted with bromate, a suspected human carcinogen, in a concentration above the legal limit for sale in the United Kingdom only after a month of launching in February 2004, Coca-Dasani Cola’s water bottles seemed to find no takers.
