Family sues over teen's death, blaming Alani Nu caffeine

The family of 17-year-old Larissa Rodriguez filed a wrongful-death lawsuit in Hidalgo County, Texas, alleging her death was caused by an enlarged heart due to excessive caffeine from Alani Nu energy drinks and accusing the distributor of inadequate warnings; the suit seeks more than $1 million and notes the drink contains 200 mg of caffeine per 12-ounce can, with marketing to youths cited as a concern, while Celsius owns Alani Nu and additional defendants may be added as the case proceeds.
