Prime Hydration has taken the beverage market by storm. With flavors like Blue Raspberry and Grape, their drinks have quickly become favorites among energy drink enthusiasts. However, Prime’s Hydration and Energy drinks have faced multiple lawsuits recently. The cases allege misrepresentations of caffeine content and the presence of harmful chemicals known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). Here, Ethen Ostroff Law investigates the specifics of a Prime energy drink lawsuit, the allegations involve, and what it means for consumers like you.
Prime Hydration, born from the collaboration of YouTube personalities Logan Paul and KSI, emerged in January 2022. It falls under the ownership of Congo Brands, a Louisville, Kentucky-based company, which also manages other influencer-centric brands such as 3D Energy Drinks and Alani Nu supplements. Prime Hydration experienced rapid success in its inaugural year, amassing $250 million in sales. By 2023, its trajectory pointed towards surpassing $1 billion, propelled by strategic sponsorships with renowned sports leagues like the UFC, MLB, and Premier League.

Prime Energy drinks burst onto the scene in 2022, captivating consumers with vibrant flavors and dynamic marketing campaigns. Backed by the star power of Paul and KSI, the brand quickly garnered a dedicated following. However, as scrutiny heightened, concerns regarding product safety and marketing practices emerged.
Paul and Prime Hydration face two class-action lawsuits alleging the misrepresentation of caffeine content and the use of PFAS “forever chemicals” in their sports drinks.
On April 8, 2024, Lara Vera filed a lawsuit asserting that Prime’s 12-ounce energy drinks contain 215-225 mg of caffeine, surpassing the advertised 200 mg. Vera claims she would not have purchased the drinks had she known the true caffeine content and seeks $5 million in damages. The lawsuit highlights that the caffeine content equates to “half a dozen Coke cans or nearly two (12-ounce) Red Bulls.”
Vera, a resident of Poughkeepsie, New York, filed the suit in the Southern District of New York, citing “misleading and deceptive practices” on behalf of herself and others across the US who purchased Prime products. Senator Charles Schumer’s call for an FDA investigation into Prime Energy drinks in 2023 is referenced in Vera’s suit, alleging dangerously high caffeine levels.
Prime also faces another class-action suit from 2023, alleging that a flavor of their sports drinks contains PFAS, or “forever chemicals.” Filed on August 2, 2023, in the Northern District of California, the lawsuit, led by Elizabeth Castillo, claims independent testing found PFAS in Prime Hydration grape flavor. PFAS are synthetic chemicals found in various products that can accumulate in the body over time.
Lead plaintiff Castillo, a California resident, states she would not have purchased Prime Hydration if the product had been accurately labeled as containing PFAS. The lawsuit seeks a $5 million judgment. As of April 18, the judge has considered Prime’s argument to dismiss the suit.
Paul denies the claims, asserting the lawsuits are baseless and the testing is flawed. He maintains that Prime adheres to FDA regulations for food packaging, and the PFAS mentioned refers to the bottle material, not the liquid.
