According to a report in the British "Daily Mail" on October 23, Arnes Fonnier, a 14-year-old girl from Maryland State of the United States, caused caffeine poisoning last year because of drinking a high-energy sports drink, and eventually died of arrhythmia.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on the 22nd that this is the fifth case of death caused by drinking this drink, and the authorities have begun investigations. The girl’s parents recently brought the manufacturer, California Hansen, to court. The company’s share price was also affected by a 14% drop.

Caffeine content equivalent to 14 cans of cola

In December 2011, Arnes Fonnier drank two cans of "Monster Energy Drink" within 24 hours and eventually died. The autopsy report showed that Arnes died of arrhythmia caused by caffeine poisoning that caused insufficient blood supply to the heart. The forensic physician also found that Arnes had a genetic disease that made her blood vessels vulnerable.

According to a survey released by the US Food and Drug Administration on October 22, 5 reports of deaths and one report of a heart attack have been reported, which may be related to drinking monster energy drinks.

The average person may have an adverse reaction after drinking it because the canned drink contains 240 milligrams of caffeine, which is equivalent to 14 cans of ordinary Coca-Cola's caffeine content!

In addition, Arnes’s parents filed a lawsuit in California’s Superior Court of Justice for causing death due to negligence. They believe that “Monster Drinks” has not warned customers of the harm of drinking their products.

Ms. Kloslan, Arnes’s mother, excitedly said: “The FDA has limited the amount of caffeine in soda, but I ignore this energy sports drink. I was shocked. Its 'monster' name, and bright The colors and the eye-catching packaging all point to unsupervised teenagers. It is a death trap for teenagers who are growing up like my daughter."

"Monster Drinks" Company Denies Allegations

"Monster Energy Drink" is the nation's number one energy sports drink, which accounts for 39% of the market for similar products. It is in opposition to Austria's sports drink "Red Bull". Monster Drinks advertises its products on its website as "the best energy supply station on the planet," and labels unsuitable for children and people who are allergic to caffeine.

Although the FDA has conducted close investigations on possible deaths of "Monster Energy Drinks" since 2004, there is no evidence that there is a necessary link between these deaths and "monster drinks." The “Monster Drinks” company believes that their products are not fatal and therefore beverages have nothing to do with the death of Arnes. The company also claims that they plan to defend themselves vigorously in litigation. Affected by a series of events, the company's share price dropped sharply by 7.59 US dollars (approximately 47.4 yuan) on Monday, about 14 percentage points, and finally closed at a price of 45.73 US dollars per share.

According to the latest statistics report of “Beverage Digest”, in the United States, sports drinks are only a small part of the carbonated soft drinks market, accounting for about 3% of total sales. However, last year, the sales of sports drinks increased by nearly 17%, which attracted the attention of states and the federal government. In August of this year, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman summoned some sports drink manufacturers, including Monster Drinks, to help investigate the state of the industry. In September of this year, Senator Dick Durbin from Illinois and Senator Richard Blumenthal from Connecticut also asked the FDA to renew the influence that caffeine and other ingredients in energy drinks may have on teenagers. look deep into. .
