Schumer Urges FDA to Investigate Influencer Energy Drink Prime Over High Caffeine and Youth Marketing

  • Schumer wrote letter calling on FDA to review Prime Energy drink, founded by YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI, citing unhealthy levels of caffeine for children and misleading marketing.
  • Prime Energy contains 200 mg of caffeine per 12 ounces, equivalent to 6 cans of Coke or 2 Red Bulls, raising health concerns.
  • Prime Energy gained popularity among youth through influencer marketing but is not recommended for those under 18.
  • Some schools have banned Prime Energy due to risks of high caffeine for students and difficulty distinguishing from sports drinks.
  • PRIME representatives argue the drink complies with guidelines and is clearly labeled but critics say marketing targets children.
