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, 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 filed a motion to dismiss, claiming the lawsuit lacks merit and that Rodriguez misused their product, which was properly labeled. They argue they only distributed the energy drink, Alani, and did not manufacture it. Texas law protects distributors from liability for defective products, and the family must prove the drink was dangerous. A ruling date on the motion to dismiss is pending.
