LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles County filed a lawsuit Wednesday against PepsiCo and Coca-Cola for their alleged role in negative impacts on the environment and public health.

The Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit also contends that the cola companies made misrepresentations about the recyclability of plastic beverage containers and have failed to disclose significant environmental and health harms associated with the use of plastic beverage containers.
