Energy drink distributors seek to dismiss Weslaco cheerleader death lawsuit
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The family of Larissa Rodriguez, a Weslaco cheerleader who died in October 2025 due to an enlarged heart linked to caffeine consumption, is amending their lawsuit against energy drink distributors Glazer’s Beer and Beverage, LLC and Glazer’s Beer and Beverage of Texas, LLC. The distributors have filed a motion to dismiss, asserting that the lawsuit is baseless and that the product had appropriate warnings. They argue that Rodriguez misused the drink and that any harm was due to her negligence. The family must prove the product was dangerous, as Texas law protects distributors from liability for defective products. A ruling date on the motion is pending.
