Schumer stated, “This is an eye-popping level of caffeine for a young kid’s body.” The warning on the company’s website explicitly states that PRIME Energy is not recommended for children under 18, pregnant or nursing women, or individuals sensitive to caffeine. Additionally, PRIME offers a non-caffeinated hydration drink in similar packaging.
The senator highlighted the packaging and marketing strategies employed for both drinks, emphasizing their striking resemblance. This similarity has led to a situation where parents unknowingly purchase highly caffeinated energy drinks for their children, assuming they are purchasing a hydration and sports beverage.
