According to the Food and Drug Administration, 5 Hour Energy drinks could be deadly.
They are investigating thirteen deaths, which may have been caused by the highly caffeinated energy shot.
The FDA has also linked ninety cases of confirmed serious illnesses, in which the drink had been taken just before illness occurred.
Those cases include heart attacks, convulsions, and a case of spontaneous abortion.
Reports filed with the FDA do not necessarily mean the drink was at fault, just that it was in play at the time of the incident.
In October, the FDA reported five deaths in which Monster Energy drinks may have been at fault.
Living Essentials, the company which produces 5 Hour Energy stated that they are taking this revelation very seriously.
