(Reuters) – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday called on regulators to investigate a popular influencer-created energy drink with nearly twice the caffeine of a Red Bull that he said is being marketed to children.<\/p>\n

Schumer said PRIME, a beverage brand started last year by YouTube<\/a> stars Logan Paul and KSI, should be investigated by the Food and Drug Administration due to its high caffeine content.<\/p>\n

“Buyer and parents beware because it\u2019s a serious health concern for the kids it so feverishly targets,” Schumer said at a press conference in New York City.<\/p>\n

Representatives for PRIME did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

‘Eye popping level of caffeine’<\/strong><\/p>\n

PRIME Energy contains 200 milligrams of caffeine per 12 ounces, equal to six cans of Coca-Cola or nearly two Red Bulls.<\/p>\n

“This is an eye popping level of caffeine for a young kid’s body,” Schumer said.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

PRIME also sells a non-caffeinated hydration drink in similar packaging.<\/p>\n

Schumer said the packaging and marketing of the two drinks were so similar that parents were unknowingly buying the highly caffeinated energy drinks for their children.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
