Lawsuit Alleges Toxic Chemicals in Popular Sports Drink

A class-action lawsuit alleges that a leading sports drink brand founded by celebrity boxer and wrestler Logan Paul and co-founder KSI contains toxic “forever chemicals” at three times the limit of what a human should consume in an entire lifetime. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accuses Prime Hydration LLC of fraudulently marketing its drinks as healthy despite high levels of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found in one of its flavors. PFAS chemicals have been linked to serious health problems, including cancer, hormone disruption, and immune system dysfunction. The allegations follow similar lawsuits and years of scientific evidence showing the dangers of PFAS chemicals. The Environmental Protection Agency has banned some PFAS chemicals, but thousands of different types exist, making it challenging to regulate and eliminate them.
