Monster Energy Sued After Teen’s Death

  • Home

A lawsuit filed Tuesday blames Monster energy drinks for the death of a California teen.  The mother of the teenager who died from cardiac arrhythmia last year is blaming her son’s death on Monster Beverage, according to the lawsuit.

Alex Morris, 19, went into cardiac arrest and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.  According to the lawsuit, Morris’ mother believes he would still be alive if he hadn’t consumed two cans of Monster’s energy drink every day for the three years before his death.

In another lawsuit last year, the family of 14-year-old Anais Fournier sued the company when she died after consuming two 24-ounce cans of Monster.

“Our allegations in the lawsuits are the same and that’s the peoples deaths were caused by these energy drinks and more specifically the defendants failure to warn about the dangers,” said Alexander Wheeler, an attorney representing the plaintiffs in both cases.

The FDA is investigating reports of deaths linked to energy drinks, including five that accuse Monster beverages.  However, the agency noted that the reports do not prove the drinks caused the deaths.
