Following her daughter’s untimely death at the age of 28, a distraught mother has issued an urgent energy drink warning.
Following the death of her daughter, Katie Donnell, on August 9, 2021, Lori Barranon of Orlando, Florida, in the United States, is advocating for a ban on “deadly” energy drinks.
“If you don’t keep your kids away from this stuff, you might end up like me, with your life ruined,” she warns. My entire family is impacted by this; it is extremely dangerous and lethal.
“I implore you to watch what your children are doing and give them advice. I believed I was doing that myself.
“I explain to everyone I see that energy drinks can accomplish this in a split second. “I believe that energy drinks ought to be prohibited.”
Barranon says her fitness-crazy daughter often drank “a lot of” coffee, took energy-boosting pills before working out, and drank up to three energy drinks every day.
