Why is the Prime Minister being sued? Logan Paul responds to the allegations


WWE Wrestler and Prime Hydration co-founder Logan Paul has found himself in the middle of two lawsuits alleging (separately) that Prime Hydration energy drinks contain more caffeine than advertised and that the drinks contain PFAS aka “chemicals forever.”

This week, Paul answered the charges on TikTok saying the lawsuits are based on “zero evidence.”

Why is the Prime Minister being sued?

In an April 8 lawsuit filed in New York, Paul and Prime Hydration LLC co-founded KSI were accused of “deceptive and deceptive practices” after testing ordered by the plaintiff's attorneys found that 12-ounce cans of energy drinks contain between 215-225 milligrams of caffeine, rather than the advertised 200 milligrams.

The lawsuit states that the plaintiff purchased some of Prime's blue raspberry flavored drinks in August 2022 and that she never would have done so had she known the true caffeine content. She wants $5 million from Prime.

In one separate lawsuit filed in August 2023 in California, Prime is accused of containing PFAS, which are synthetic chemicals used in cleaning products, toiletries and stain-resistant sprays that are not approved for consumption by the FDA.

According to the lawsuit, PFAS were discovered through third-party testing that Prime's grape flavor contained these chemicals. The plaintiff is seeking $5 million.

How did Paul and Prime respond?

In a TikTok video posted to Paul's account late Wednesday, which has since garnered over 15.3 million views, the influencer slammed the allegations and denied that any Prime products contain any non-FDA-approved chemicals or substances.

Paul clarified in the clip that the PFAS mentioned in the lawsuit are related to the bottle that Prime is packaged in, not the actual liquid itself.

“This is not a slip operation,” Paul said. “We use the best bottlers in the United States. All your favorite beverage brands… they use these companies. If the product is served in plastic, they make a bottle for them.”

He then doubled down and called the lawsuit “absolute bull” and claimed the third-party testing was invalid.

“They're claiming Prime has 0.06 (parts per trillion),” Paul said of the testing. “But it's interesting because the EPA says that anything below 1.1 (parts per trillion) can't be considered accurate enough. They don't have the tools or resources to prove what they're claiming.”

Prime Hydration LLC did not immediately respond of the entrepreneur request for comment on each lawsuit.

Prime products are manufactured and distributed by Congo Brands, which is located in Louisville, Kentucky.
