A US senator is sounding the alarm on Logan Paul’s energy drink, Prime. New York’s Chuck Schumer held a press conference on July 9 decrying Prime’s “eye-popping levels of caffeine” and its marketing aimed at kids. Schumer is urging the Food and Drug Administration to formally investigate the drink’s health effects and its advertising (via Kotaku).
“One of the summer's hottest status symbols for kids is not an outfit, it's not a toy—it's a beverage,” Schumer said. “But buyer and parents beware, because it's a serious health concern for the kids it so feverishly targets.”
