Wrongful Death Suit Filed Against Red Bull

by Long Island Attorney Paul A. Lauto, Esq.

In today's life we often find ourselves long on things to do and short on sleep. As a result, many Americans have turned to so called "high energy" drinks. Some of the popular energy drinks include Red Bull, Monster Energy and 5 Hour Energy. These companies represent their drinks to be a convenient surge of energy in a can. But many believe they are dangerously charged with caffeine and artificial stimulants.

Cory Terry was a 33 year old non-smoking father from Brooklyn, NY, who drank Red Bull on a regular basis. One fateful day in 2011, Terry drank a Red Bull and then engaged in a basketball game. During the game, Cory suffered a heart attack and died. This has now resulted in an 85 million dollar wrongful death lawsuit filed against Red Bull.

Claimant's attorney maintains that Red Bull is negligent, in that their drink contains stimulants and additives that are more dangerous than what Red Bull represents and would have consumers believe. A Red Bull spokesperson in electing not to comment on the lawsuit, stated that Red Bull is "safe to consume, [with] more than 5 billion cans consumed last year."
