I am not a lawyer but I think it is hard to blame a company for what consumers do with their products after purchasing them.
And what about Coke? Don’t they make plastic bottles?

Seems like a ridiculous lawsuit. What good could possibly come from it? Will Pepsi stop selling plastic bottles in NYS and forces a switch to Coke? Won't that just shift the statistics and result in another lawsuit?
It's also hard to imagine that McDonald's would be second to Pepsi. Would they be counting plastic containers for fish fillet or would they be finding plastic cups that were used for Coke products? It's hard to imagine that Coke bottles or water bottles didn't make up a higher percentage than McDonald's.
It's early to start campaigning for the 2026 NYS elections so I wonder why this lawsuit now.
