Berkey® Water Filters Seeks Temporary Injunction + EPA Lawsuit Update

As of July 29th, 2024

As was previously announced in August 2023, New Millennium Concepts, Ltd., the brand owner of Berkey Water Systems, filed a lawsuit against the EPA for classifying Berkey Water Filters as pesticides AND is seeking an injunction to lift the Stop-Sale order (SSURO) placed on Berkey International—which manufactures and supplies Berkey products to NMCL.

On July 25th, 2024 NMCL’s appeal for immediate temporary injunction to lift the EPA’s Stop-Sale order against Berkey International was denied by Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Due to this development, a timeline for the re-manufacture of Black Berkey Elements is unknown. 

While the Court of Appeals has denied our appeal for an immediate injunction, the lawsuit was not dismissed and is still an active case being reviewed by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
