Are energy drinks a threat to your Missouri teenager?
A Missouri teen is lucky to be alive after drinking energy drinks
Parents worry about their teenage children consuming alcohol or illegal drugs, but here’s a new fear for parents –popular energy drinks sold at Kansas City convenience stores may put your child’s life at risk.
Seventeen-year-old Dakota Sailor is lucky to be alive. He drank a few energy drinks after school. He seemed ok, but when his mother found him the next morning, he was blue and in the midst of a seizure. The young man was given CPR and rushed to the hospital.
After numerous tests, the doctors at St, John’s Regional Hospital determined that the high levels of caffeine still in his system were to blame for the seizures.
The teen did not think the drinks could be harmful, after all anyone can buy them.
For most adults, 5 to 10 grams of caffeine (about 80 cups of coffee) is enough for a caffeine overdose. But, even one gram may be enough to cause serious medical consequences. Children are at risk from smaller amounts of caffeine. Energy drinks contain caffeine levels ranging from 80 to 400 milligrams of caffeine, a few drinks may be enough to reach that level.
Energy drinks are marketed to young people as a quick pick-me-up. There is little mention of the health risks except in tiny print on the can. If you have suffered from serious health risks related to the consumption of energy drinks, you may have a defective product or product liability case.
