TORONTO - The law offices of Juroviesky and Ricci LLP have filed a series of class action lawsuits in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the manufacturers and distributors of many popular "Energy Drink" products ("Defendants"), including those drinks known as Red Bull, Full Throttle, Monster, Jolt, Amp and Rockstar.
The suits allege widespread violations of various consumer protection legislation and certain common law causes of action. Juroviesky and Ricci LLP are seeking to pursue remedies against the Defendants for breaches under the Consumer Protection Act, the Food and Drugs Act and the Competition Act as well as for Negligence and other claims based on the allegation that consumers were not made aware of the potential health consequences of using "Energy Drink" products.
