Energy drink distributors deny allegations in Weslaco cheerleader death
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Distributors of an energy drink linked to the death of 17-year-old Weslaco High School cheerleader Larissa Rodriguez are contesting allegations made by her family. Glazer's Beer and Beverage, LLC and its Texas counterpart responded to a lawsuit claiming their products contributed to Rodriguez's death from an enlarged heart, attributed to caffeine intake. The distributors argue the lawsuit is baseless, stating they only sold the drink and did not manufacture it, asserting it was properly labeled and safe. They contend Rodriguez misused the product and that any damages were due to her negligence. A court hearing date has not been established.
