Stewart and Lynda Resnick's Roll Global (since renamed to The Wonderful Company) acquired Fiji Water from Gilmour in 2004 for a reported US$50 million.

In 2007–2008, disputes with the Fiji government over export duties led to legal cases, impounded shipments and a self-imposed industry-wide shutdown of Fijian water bottlers.

[12][13] However, after threats from the government to give the well to another company,[14] Fiji Water announced its intent to resume operations and accept the new tax levy.

[19] In 2024, the Federal Trade Commission issued a recall of almost 2 million Fiji Water bottles due to elevated levels of manganese and three bacterial genera in products sold between February and March.

[23] Fast Company reported in 2007 that the factory machinery to extract water from underground is run on diesel fuel.

[19] Aja Romano from Vox wrote that "the long-term impact of globally exporting drinking water is a giant mess of un-recycled plastic clogging landfills."

[25] On January 31, 2025, environmental watchdog group The Plastic Coalition filed a lawsuit against Fiji Water, claiming the company's marketing of the product as "natural artesian water" is false given that tests show that it contains harmful microplastics and the chemical BPA.
