A primary school in Newport has issued a warning after one of its pupils suffered a "cardiac episode" after drinking a Prime energy drink. Milton Primary School on Hendre Farm Drive said a parent had reported their child had to have their stomach pumped after drinking the fad drink, which contains 140mg of caffeine in the UK.
A text message sent out on Tuesday, May 9, by the school's management and seen by WalesOnline said it wished to make parents aware of the incident, which did not take place in the school. It read: "This morning a parent has reported that their child has had a cardiac episode over the weekend after drinking a Prime energy drink.
"The child had to have their stomach pumped and although better now the parent wanted us to share this as a reminder of the potential harmful effects."
