FDA TO BAN FOUR LOKO


Man this must be some good stuff. The FDA will effectively ban the sale of beverages that combine caffeine and alcohol, including Four Loko and Joose, according to Senator Charles Schumer In a press release, the Senator also announced that the Federal Trade Commission will notify manufacturers that they're potentially marketing the products illegally.

A spokesperson for the FDA would not confirm the release, adding that the agency announced a review of the products in November 2009. She could not comment on a projected date for completion of the review.
Schumer said in the release that the ruling, when it occurs, "should be the nail in the coffin of these dangerous toxic drinks.
The family of 20-year-old Jason Keiran of Florida is suing the drink maker over claims that it caused him to behave so erratically that he shot himself.
Now that some good stuff.
