According to the Redline class action lawsuit, the product’s nutrition label lists these ingredients in type that is hard to read and is smaller than the lettering required by the Food and Drug Administration. In addition to containing extremely high concentrations of caffeine, Redline also contains a wide variety of energy-enhancing ingredients, including Yohimbine, 5-HTP, evodiamine, tyrosine, and vinpocetine. According to his class action lawsuit, Redline is unsafe due a number of ingredients that “are notable for the adverse effects they cause to humans that go well beyond the goal… of energy enhancement.” Mirabella says he was hospitalized and required two days of sedation after drinking the Redline energy drink. After drinking just one serving of the product, Mirabella’s heart began racing and “he suffered extreme chest pain that felt like a heart attack, he lost sensation in his hands, and he had extreme nausea,” the class action lawsuit says. Texas resident Adam Mirabella alleges in the Redline class action lawsuit that he purchased a bottle of VPX Redline Xtreme Energy Drink last July at a gas station in Cedar Park, Texas.

Vital Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the makers of VPX Redline energy drink, has been hit with a class action lawsuit claiming the product hospitalized the Plaintiff with “adverse side effects resembled a cocaine overdose.” The class action lawsuit accuses the company of deceptively marketing Redline as a safe source of energy while being fully aware that the drink can cause extreme adverse health effects, including chills, vomiting, convulsions, chest pain and rapid heartbeat.
