The headlines have read, Energy Drink Leads Teen To Her Death in the case of Anais Fournier, Energy Drink Lands Young Man In The Emergency Room. More and more people are being affected by these drinks, so why are they still available for purchase?

According to the Huffington Post San Francisco, yet another young person was affected by this. Late one night a young man stumbles into the emergency room complaining of irregular heart palpitations and loss of breath. He says he’d been out at a party and had a liquor mixed with energy drinks.

Doctor Steve Sun the emergency room physician who treated him found that his patient was so terribly dehydrated that he was going into kidney failure. One of many patients Dr. Sun has treated over complications due to energy drink consumption.

Product Liability law states that the consumer has a right to compensation if he or she has been or died. It was the responsibility of energy drink manufacturers to investigate accusations of death or injuries associated with them. Product liability cases involve a thorough investigation regarding the extent of defects and the resulting liability for the incident.  It is critical to seek the counsel of a detail-oriented product liability attorney with a high degree of experience.
