Abuse of Statistics – The Case of Perrier
In 1990, thousands of cases of the French carbonated water, Perrier were pulled off the shelves of stores across North America. It was discovered that an unspecified amount of benzene (a known cancer causing toxin) got accidentally mixed into the bottling vats at the Perrier plant in France. ... These and many more questions should have been answered prior to a reaction that caused the removal of millions of bottles of Perrier and causing a public panic and a mistrust of the Perrier product. ...
The Perrier that was believed to have been tainted was actually found to have an estimated 15 ppb, which was a little more than the established safe level established by the EPA of 12 ppb.
