The maker of the Prime beverage line has been sued over claims of its beverages containing both so-called “forever chemicals” and excessive caffeine.
The class-action lawsuit against Prime Hydration LLC was filed on April 8 in the Southern District of New York. Poughkeepsie, New York resident Lara Vera filed the suit in federal court on behalf of herself and other shoppers who purchased Prime products across the country.
The plaintiffs accused Prime Hydration of “misleading and deceptive practices” concerning the company’s 12-ounce (oz) energy drinks. Despite being advertised as having only 200 milligrams (mg) of caffeine, the drinks actually contain between 215 mg and 225 mg.
