The Consumer Affairs Authority has sealed the Dalugama factory of DSI subsidiary - Mount Spring Water (Pvt) Ltd, after seizing 37,000 bottles containing contaminated water unsuitable for consumption.
It was discovered that the water contained a chemical similar to kerosene oil.
The owner and manager of the factory was arrested and was later released on bail bonds, reports say.
They are to be produced before the Kadawatha Courts tomorrow (April 23).
The CAA has received complaints over this water by an internationally acclaimed fast food chain, a host of three star and five star hotels in Colombo, Nuwara Eliya and Bandarawela as well as from several supermarkets who have obtained bottled water from this factory.
It is said that several consumers had to take medical treatment after consuming this water.
Both the water and the bottles are produced in the factory and it is suspected that a chemical used during the manufacturing of the bottles has thus contaminated the water.
The CAA warns the public to be vigilant before consuming bottled water produced in the factory.
A group of CAA officers including its Gampaha District chief Ranjith Siriwardena and inspection officers Harshana Kumara, Y.M. S. Nishantha, W.A.C. Prasad, Kosala Ranganath and L.M.S. Navimana had conducted the raid.
