Is Logan Paul and KSI's PRIME in trouble? Chuck Schumer calls for FDA inquiry into energy drink, Internet praises his 'hard hitting analysis'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Logan Paul and KSI, well-known influencers and professional boxers, have been actively endorsing the PRIME energy drink. However, the drink has faced accusations of being unsafe by Chuck Schumer, the New York Senate leader, who has raised concerns about the high caffeine content in PRIME. Schumer has called upon the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate an investigation into the energy drink.
In a recent turn of events, during the launch of the brand, both Paul and KSI were targeted by individuals throwing PRIME bottles, sparking controversy surrounding the drink. It remains unclear whether the act was intended as a form of amusement or if it reflected a negative sentiment towards PRIME. The situation surrounding Paul and KSI continues to unfold, and further updates will shed light on their stance and the aftermath of the incident.
‘The FDA must investigate PRIME for its absurd caffeine’
During the press conference in New York city, Schumer accused PRIME energy drink of containing high caffeine. He said, “Buyer and parents beware because it’s a serious health concern for the kids it so feverishly targets, This is an eye popping level of caffeine for a young kid's body,"
It is worth noting that the PRIME energy drink is not recommended for children under the age of 18, women who are pregnant or nursing or individuals, who are sensitive to caffeine. Also, PRIME sells a non-caffeinated hydration drink in a similar packaging. Schumer said, "Because the product is billed as a hydration and sports drink in its other, near identical form, kids are likely to ingest cans of this stuff with the parents being unaware," And he also added, “One of the summer’s hottest status symbols for kids is not an outfit, or a toy — it’s a beverage, But buyers and parents beware because it’s a serious health concern for the kids it so feverishly targets.”
Schumer also took to twitter and shared, “PRIME Energy Drink has so much caffeine that it could endanger kids’ health. But it's being marketed to kids! Parents and pediatricians are worried. The FDA must investigate PRIME for its absurd caffeine content and its marketing targeting kids on social media.” Ultil
