5 People Died After Drinking Monster Over 3 Years
Five people have died of excessive ingestion of caffeine from Monster Energy Drink over 3 years. A 14-year-old girl from Maryland recently died after drinking large cans of Monster in two consecutive days. Her mother sued Monster Beverage and its stock ended down by 14%. People are urging the FDA to enforce caffeine levels in energy drinks.
I'm curious about how the trial will end up because I think that both the girl and the company are responsible for this. If you look at the bottom of the drink, it clearly says that no more than 500mL is recommended a day because caffeine can harm people's health. The girl ignored it and drank more than the recommended amount. Also, she had a heart disease and she was aware of that. If so, she should have been more careful when drinking Monster.
The company is also responsible because it put too much of caffeine in the drink. When I drank it, I thought it was unnecessarily too strong, and therefore stopped drinking it. The company was irresponsible to put such a huge amount of caffeine to make it stronger.
Again, I believe that both girl and the company made a mistake, so I'm very curious about the judgment of the trial. And I feel sorry for her and other 4 people who died of caffeine toxicity caused by drinking energy drink.
