Top US senator calls for probe into KSI and Logan Paul energy drink.
Mon Jul 10, 2023 7:01 am
US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called on regulators to investigate an energy drink promoted by high-profile YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul.
Mr Schumer alleges the drink is being targeted at children despite its high caffeine content.
Prime Energy contains 200mg of caffeine per can, which is around twice the amount in rival energy drink Red Bull.
Each drink carries a warning stating that it is not recommended for children under the age of 18.
However Mr Schumer, a Democrat, alleged that Prime Energy was packaged and marketed "in near identical form" as a caffeine-free drink from the brand.
As a result, some parents had unknowingly bought the caffeinated drink for their children, he told reporters in New York on Sunday.
"The FDA [Food and Drug Administration] must investigate PRIME for its absurd caffeine content and its marketing targeting kids on social media," he later said on Twitter.
Prime did not immediately respond to a BBC request for comment.
