Ken Paxton announces investigation into energy drink company linked to death of Weslaco cheerleader
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into Celsius Holdings, Inc., the manufacturer of the Alani Nu energy drink linked to the death of 17-year-old Weslaco cheerleader Larissa Rodriguez. The investigation follows a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Rodriguez's family, who claim her consumption of the drink contributed to her death from an enlarged heart. Paxton aims to ensure that consumers, particularly children, are not misled about the product's safety, citing concerns over the drink's caffeine content. Each can contains 200 mg of caffeine, which is considered dangerous for young people. The investigation seeks to protect Texas families from potentially harmful products.
