US Senator Demands Investigation into Prime Energy Drink Marketed to Kids
US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for an investigation into Prime Energy, an energy drink promoted by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul, alleging that it is being targeted at children despite its high caffeine content. The drink contains 200mg of caffeine per can, twice the amount in Red Bull, and carries a warning against consumption by children under 18. Schumer claims that the drink is packaged and marketed similarly to a caffeine-free version, leading some parents to unknowingly buy the caffeinated version for their children. Prime Energy's representative stated that the drink complies with FDA guidelines and welcomes discussions regarding industry changes to protect consumers.
