Sen. Schumer Urges FDA to Investigate Logan Paul's High-Caffeine Energy Drink

TL;DR Summary
Senator Charles Schumer has called on the FDA to investigate PRIME, an energy drink brand founded by YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI, due to its high caffeine content and popularity among teens and pre-teens. Schumer expressed concern about the company's targeting of children through social media and advertising. A 12-oz. can of PRIME contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, and over-consumption can lead to negative health effects. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against children and teens consuming energy drinks and recommends a maximum of 100 mg of caffeine per day for those aged 12-18. Some schools in the US have already banned PRIME.
