Monster
Beverage Corporation (NASDAQ: MNST) today reported that on Thursday,
December 6th, a jury in a California Superior Court in Riverside,
California unanimously found that Monster Energy drinks do not
cause cardiac arrhythmias or cardiac arrest. The case was Bledsoe
v. Monster.
"This
is the first case of this type to ever go to verdict and I am
pleased the jury listened to the medical and scientific evidence
and followed the law," said Marc P. Miles of Shook, Hardy
& Bacon. "After years of unsupported allegations regarding
the safety of energy drinks, the jury needed only fifteen minutes
to reach this finding."
More
than 100 billion energy drinks have been sold and safely consumed
worldwide for more than 27 years. More than 25 billion Monster
Energy drinks have been sold and safely consumed worldwide for
more than 15 years.
Monster
Energy drinks contain approximately 10 mg of caffeine per ounce
from all sources. A 16 oz. Monster Energy drink contains less
than half the caffeine contained in a same-sized coffeehouse
coffee.
Monster
has always been confident in the safety of its products and
stands by them. This verdict further validates what Monster
has always known - Monster Energy drinks are safe.
