An energy drink called Cocaine has been pulled from stores nationwide amid concerns about its name, the company that produces it said.
Clegg Ivey, a partner in Redux Beverages of Las Vegas, said the company planned to sell the drink under a new name.
The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter last month that said Redux was illegally marketing the drink as a street drug alternative and a dietary supplement.
The FDA cited the drink’s labeling and website, which included the statements “Speed in a Can” and “Liquid Cocaine.”
