Investigation Urged for Logan Paul's Controversial Energy Drink and UFC Sponsor

TL;DR Summary
Senator Chuck Schumer has called for an investigation by the FDA into Prime Energy, an energy drink created by YouTube influencers Logan Paul and KSI, due to its high caffeine content. The drink, which has levels equivalent to six cans of Coca-Cola, is facing backlash from physicians and lawmakers who argue that it can be harmful to children. Pediatricians recommend that children under 12 avoid caffeine entirely, and those aged 12 to 18 consume no more than 100 milligrams per day. Prime Energy's advertising campaign appears to target those under 18, leading to concerns about its impact on young consumers.
