What was the outcome of the Bang Energy lawsuit? In 2022, a California federal jury awarded
Prime Energy, which first launched in the UK and contains more caffeine than most energy drinks, has made a big splash in the US. And now there are even reports of the drink being banned from schools and sold on the black market.
Morgan & Morgan has filed five lawsuits against Monster Beverage Corporation on behalf of clients who have suffered serious, permanent, and life-altering injuries as a result of regular consumption of its products.
As reported by The Gamer, Monster Energy Drinks recently opted to sue indie game developer Glowstick Entertainment in regards to Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals (released back in late 2020). The reason? The word "monster" appears in the game's title.
Since 2009, five deaths and one heart attack have been linked to Monster energy drinks. How extensive should labeling on highly caffeinated beverages be? Federal health officials are investigating reports of energy drink-related medical problems.
But despite what people assume, Monster Energy is not owned by Red Bull and the two have never had any connection to each other. Besides both of them being popular in the world of energy drinks and having been made into successful brands, the two companies have nothing to do with one another.
The jury agreed in September with Monster's argument that Bang's ingredients do not include any actual creatine, a organic compound that is typically taken as a supplement to enhance muscle development, and that Bang misled customers about the drink's benefits.
The Coca-Cola Company bought a 16.7% stake for $2.15 billion in Monster Beverage Corp in 2015. This stake has since grown to 19.3% due to share buybacks conducted by Monster Beverage Corp. In January 2022, the company acquired CANarchy Craft Brewery Collective for US$330 million.

Red Bull
Red Bull is known to be one of the unhealthiest energy drinks. But why? Red bull contains 151 mg of caffeine and 51 grams of added sugar (101% of suggested intake) for a 16 oz can. Along with that, it exceeds the percentage of suggested vitamins/minerals.
There is no industry standard for "healthy," so many energy drinks that claim to be healthy can still pose health risks. Drinks with less sugar are better, but some of the so-called "healthy" choices still contain added sugar – it's just organic cane sugar or honey rather than glucose or high fructose corn syrup.
Safety. Large amounts of caffeine may cause serious heart and blood vessel problems such as heart rhythm disturbances and increases in heart rate and blood pressure. Caffeine also may harm children's still-developing cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Energy drinks are not recommended for children and teens because of the amount of caffeine, sugars and other ingredients (like herbs and amino acids) they contain. Caffeine is a drug naturally found in the leaves and seeds of many plants. It's also artificially made and added to certain foods.
Caffeine is a stimulant found in plants that is added to energy drinks in high amounts. If kids have too much caffeine, it can lead to serious, life threatening heart problems. Children are at a higher risk for heart issues from excess caffeine because their body size is much smaller than adults.

The recommended amount is to keep your intake at one can per day or, at most, two cans (16 oz.) to get the most out of this energy drink while minimizing the side effects. The problem lies in the caffeine content and sugar in Monster.

Increased Risk of Heart Disease: Energy drinks, like Monster Energy, contain high levels of caffeine, which can cause an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. Drinking energy drinks daily can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, including irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure.
