Family claims 14 year old daughter died from drinking Monster Energy Drinks.

[predfan2001]

Monster Beverage Corp. shares fell 16 percent on Monday after news that it is being sued by the family of a 14-year-old girl who died after drinking two cans of its Monster Energy drink.

The family of Anais Fournier filed a lawsuit on Friday against Monster for failing to warn about the product's dangers.

According to the suit, filed in California Superior Court in Riverside, Fournier died Dec. 23, 2011, from "caffeine toxicity" after drinking two 24-ounce cans of Monster Energy on consecutive days.

In a related press release Friday, the family's law firm said six deaths and 15 hospitalizations associated with Monster Energy since 2009 had been reported to the Center for Food Safety Adverse Event Reporting System at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

FDA officials were not immediately available to comment.

For its part, Monster said it does not believe its drinks are "in any way responsible" for Fournier's death.

"Monster is unaware of any fatality anywhere that has been caused by its drinks," the company said in a statement. It said it intends to vigorously defend itself in the suit.

Monster shares were down 16 percent at $44.78 on the Nasdaq in afternoon trade following media reports about the suit.

2 cans not even once

'An autopsy found that Fournier died of cardiac arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity that impeded her heart's ability to pump blood.

She suffered from an inherited disorder that can weaken blood vessels."

so she did die from it but it's because she had congentital heart and blood vessel defects

BRB cali court needs to sue parents for negligent homicide and bad parenting.

[masud]

Am I able to sue the family for giving a 14 year old girl TWO monster energy drinks, which resulted in death?

I don't see why not since people are suing others over anything nowadays. And people wonder why product prices are so fuking high.

[papi89]

Events like this makes me think some parents care more about money than they ever did about their kids.

Had they actually cared, their daughter wouldn't have been drinking monsters in the first place. Parents should be the ones punished for negligence

[Finch000]

[Seldini]

Caffeine toxicity =/= death from an undiagnosed heart condition which was aggravated by caffeine

The amount of energy drinks you'd need to get caffeine toxicity is nuts.
