Alright.

This will be a learning experience for you. Let us walk through this together. This way, you’ll attain an understanding currently far beyond your comprehension.

Now, reread that article and see if, on your own, you can identify some areas of revelation that justifies this as a conceivable lawsuit.

Report back when you have.
I read that it comes with an accurate measure tool he misplaced

these things are not regulated and furthermore the FDA has warned against them. It is the supplement scene that is fighting for access to caffeine powder. Hence my sentiment. I comprehend that the miscalculation could have been avoided with the measuring scoop

The recommended dose of caffeine powder, which is often used by gymgoers to aid their performance, was between 60 300mg (0.002 and 0.01 oz).

But Mansfield's digital scale had a starting weight of 2g (0.07 oz), and the product did not come with a measuring scoop, Yahoo! News reported.



my dude you must be very careful and selective about who you choose to argue with and what you argue about.

be also cognizant of the dangers of the “back pattas” - those who are unintelligent through and through. Their words of encouragement will wreck your life.

The father-of-two from Colwyn Bay, Wales, miscalculated his measurement and scooped up to 5g (0.2 oz) of the powder, the inquest heard, per Yahoo! News.

Mountain dew amp, I don't know if they still make that stuff. But it had me feeling like I was gonna have a heart attack.

I drank that stuff one time and that was it... I didn't have any crazy things going on with my heart, but I had taken it to help me stay awake on a drive from NC to FL... I remember feeling.... off. My heart would have these periodic palpitations, and I hadn't even drank the whole bottle. I threw it out when I stopped for gas. I've never seen that stuff again.

Eternal lawsuit
How is it a lawsuit? I can goto the pharmacy and grab a bottle of 100 Tylenol pills. They recommend how I should take on the bottle. If I accidentally take too many that's on me. How is this any different?

R.I.P. to the trainer. It does feel like he made a mistake that shouldn't have happened
