Schumer said PRIME, a beverage brand started last year by YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI, should be investigated by the Food and Drug Administration due to its high caffeine content.
"Buyer and parents beware because it’s a serious health concern for the kids it so feverishly targets," Schumer said at a press conference in New York City.PRIME Energy contains 200 milligrams of caffeine per 12 ounces, equal to six cans of Coca-Cola or nearly two Red Bulls.According to a warning on the company's website, PRIME Energy is not recommended for children under the age of 18, women who are pregnant or nursing, or individuals who are sensitive to caffeine.
"Because the product is billed as a hydration and sports drink in its other, near identical form, kids are likely to ingest cans of this stuff with the parents being unaware," he said.
