Primary school warning after pupil has 'cardiac episode' after drinking Prime energy drink

A primary school has sent out a warning to parents after a child had a "cardiac episode" after drinking a Prime energy drink.

Milton Primary School, in Newport, Wales, said a parent had reported their child had to have their stomach pumped after having the drink, which contains 140mg of caffeine. A text message sent out on Tuesday by the school's management said it wished to make parents aware of the incident, which did not take place in the school.

The message 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."
