1984 Sydbrand lawsuit
[edit]In the gas canisters section it says, "In Sweden in 1984, carbonic acid supplier Sydbrand, primarily a supplier of fire equipment, was sued successfully by SodaStream". Shouldn't that read "successfully sued by W & A Gilbey Ltd."? Since SodaStream wasn't it's own company until 1991 and, at that time, was a subsidiary of W & A Gilbey Ltd.? I'm not an expert in Swedish law so I figured I'd ask. Robo042 (talk) 01:18, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Factory move
[edit]I'm not sure where @Hyperionsteel: sourced the information about PACBI in this edit, the content that has just been removed here, but Al Jazeera's "SodaStream factory shows Palestinian Bedouins' plight" article covers this in some detail including for example BDS co-founder Omar Barghouti saying "This closure is a clear-cut BDS victory against an odiously complicit Israeli company" and explaining that "The BDS campaign against SodaStream will continue, as the company is moving to a location where it is directly colluding in the ethnic cleansing of Bedouin Palestinian citizens of Israel in the Naqab [Negev]." and that Sodastream CEO Daniel Birnbaum "admitted BDS had played some role in the move" which he described as "minimal". There is plenty of other information in this and other sources to ensure the issues are given a detail and weight that is in proper proportion to the coverage by RS, as is required by mandatory policy.

Would someone with more experience mind reviewing this edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SodaStream&curid=4153354&diff=921269808&oldid=917931961&diffmode=source). I'm not sure about whether the wording by the editor should be used? Thank you. Daylen (talk) 04:00, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- Checking whether the source given uses the word "alleged" is all the review that's needed. If it does, the edit's probably fine; otherwise, it should be reverted (or another source found). In this instance, the latter seems to be the case. 78.28.45.145 (talk) 08:47, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
Missing end quote?
was reading the article and happened to notice a missing end quote in the controversy section. the quote as-is reads "Birnbaum said that the factories are apolitical. "We don't take sides in this conflict. He described the factory as "building bridges between us and the Palestinian population, and we provide our Palestinian employees with respectable employment opportunities and an appropriate salary and benefits"." however, i believe there should be an end quote after 'conflict' because the article switches back to referring to birnbaum in the third person, and proceeds to quote a different section from the source article, without appearing to be part of a larger quote from a different source. thanks for your time — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.43.203.181 (talk) 16:59, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Bottle 'licensing'?
I'm surprised that there's no explanation as to what that means on the bottle, and it sounds dubious enough to want to know yet they don't explain what they're really claiming, specifically. Is it for having the trademark on the bottle? DOT shipping requirement (i.e. you're not supposed to ship refilled bottles unless Sodastream if I understand it right)? Can't be patents as it's even on the ancient design. Seems to run right into first sale and exhaustion issues among others, if they try to claim ownership. It's beginning to feel like the Nintendo Seal of Quality, all over again. 74.196.181.80 (talk) 20:56, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Controversies section

Hi everyone. I'd like to suggest integrating the Controversies section into the History section. The current History section only covers events up to 2014, which is around when most of the events of the Controversies section occurred (apart from the "homophobia" paragraph, which is trivial and non-noteworthy in any case).
I also want to propose trimming the section itself, as the level of detail is WP:UNDUE for the article (it amounts to almost half the article by word count). Here is how I would propose trimming:

Boycott campaign and factory relocation
![]() In the early 2010s, a The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in 2010 that SodaStream was not entitled to claim a "Made in Israel" exemption from EU customs payments for products manufactured in the West Bank because Israeli settlements in the West Bank are outside the territorial scope of the EC–Israel Agreement.[6][7][8][9] In January 2014, Oxfam accepted the resignation of Scarlett Johansson, an American actress, as ambassador for that organisation, a role she had held for eight years, after she became a brand ambassador for SodaStream. Oxfam has stated that "businesses, such as SodaStream, that operate in settlements further the ongoing poverty and denial of rights of the Palestinian communities that we work to support"[10] and opposes all trade with the settlements citing their illegality under international law.[11] Johansson reportedly resigned because of "a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement".[10] In her statement she described SodaStream as "not only committed to the environment but to building a bridge to peace between Israel and Palestine, supporting neighbours working alongside each other, receiving equal pay, equal benefits and equal rights".[10] SodaStream CEO Daniel Birnbaum also accused Oxfam of supporting the BDS movement against Israel as a whole, a charge Oxfam denied, saying that "this is about trade from the settlements" and specific to settlements outside Israel's pre-1967 border.[12][13] which Oxfam states, due to their location, pose an obstacle to any future two-state solution.[13] According to Birnbaum, the boycott had no impact on the growth rate of SodaStream, and he said, all SodaStream products sold in Norway, Sweden and Finland are manufactured in China.[13]
Birnbaum said that the factories are apolitical and
In July 2014, SodaStream fired 60 Palestinian workers after they filed a complaint SodaStream announced that its factory in Ma'ale Adumim would be closed by the end of 2015 in order to save $9 million in production costs. The plant's operations were transferred to a new factory in Lehavim, where it reportedly

I'd be happy to discuss other ideas for which parts should be trimmed and which parts shouldn't be trimmed. But I think we can all agree the current version is not ideal. Thanks! DAK1980 (talk) 08:30, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
