The dangers of four Loko and our teens

17:21 Publicado por Mario Galarza

As a Seattle lawyer I know personal injury, can be as devastating the wrongful death of a beloved family and friends. My Bellevue wrongful death law firm handled many cases in which a member of the family in a car accident or accident at work was killed. But a child is to lose probably the hardest one parent ever have to face.

Four Loko

15 Year-old Bo Rupp died the consumption in September last year after two doses of popular alcoholic drink four Loko, already a warning to removed from the shelf of the FDA. The nickname "Blackout in a can" of young drinkers in the first months on the shelf, which, that four Loko blamed, for alcohol poisoning and binge drinking incidents in the country. The product was voluntarily recalled by decision-makers Phusion projects, which ultimately forced, remove the caffeine from the product by the FDA, which warned that caffeine was a "unsafe food additive".

Rupp's MOM, Karla Rupp now Phusion projects for the wrongful death of their beloved teenage son sued. Although he was under the legal drinking age at the time was that he consumed the drink, Karla believes that the drinks are supposed to appeal to young people. Their lawsuit alleges that Phusion projects "careless and during the formulation of a caffeinated alcohol beverage, which desensitizes users to the symptoms of poisoning, and increases the potential for alcohol-related harm through negligence."

As a lawyer wrongful death Kent is what I find most disturbing the fact that all this negative publicity has only four Loko more made popular. Even without the caffeine additive is the product still flying off the shelf and many teenager think that it is cool to post on social networking sites like Facebook, that they are "had always Loko." Drinking is a serious problem that must be treated and colorful products like this, which does not help to mask only the taste of alcohol.
