Harrogate Spring Water Agrees to Stop Using '1571' Strapline
Harrogate Spring Water has agreed to no longer use the strapline 'since 1571' after the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) deemed it "likely to mislead" consumers.
The strapline referred to the year Harrogate's spring water was first recognized as special by William Slingsby.
We considered that the presentation of some of these claims were likely to mislead because they gave the impression that the company had been in existence since that time.
Harrogate Spring Water was actually founded in 2002, not in 1571 as the strapline suggested.
The decision came after a complaint from the Pinewoods Conservation Group (PCG) to the ASA.
