Energy drinks claim to give you that much needed boost and even offer things like extra vitamins, minerals, and health benefits. Unfortunately, what they tend to lack is proper warning labels. Energy drinks have recently been in the press more due to injuries and deaths associated with their use – but despite these instances, there are still manufacturers of these drinks that are not properly warning the public.
It is true that energy drinks often do not contain the same volume of caffeine as a drink from your local coffee shop, but it is not the caffeine that makes them dangerous – it is the sweeteners and excess products combined with the fact that they are easy to drink in high volume.
There are some known dangers associated with these energy drinks, including:
Canned energy drinks do not contain the same health warnings as alcoholic beverages or cigarettes. That is because most energy drinks also contain herbal or plant-based supplements; therefore, they are allowed to label themselves as dietary substances instead of food. That also means that these products are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Energy drinks do not have to reveal the caffeine content of their products either – which means individuals do not know how much caffeine they are actually consuming.
The lack of proper warning labels for their unsafe concoctions can lead to serious injury. If you or someone you love was injured by an energy drink, contact the attorneys at Malman Law to explore your legal options. You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
