(Ottawa) The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is expanding its energy drink recall to include more than 20 brands.
Posted at 7:11 p.m.
This recall was initiated in July because certain beverages failed to meet various caffeine content and bilingual labeling requirements.
Sonic the Hedgehog, Toxic Rick and Liquid Rage are among the brands that have been added to the list in recent days.
Other caffeinated energy drinks, including Monster and Prime, were part of previous recall notices.
The advisory released on Tuesday says people should not consume, serve or sell the recalled beverages.
Health Canada warns that high levels of caffeine can cause adverse health effects, especially in children, pregnant or breastfeeding people, people sensitive to caffeine, and people who exercise while consuming it. .
The agency points out that side effects of caffeine can include insomnia, irritability, headaches and nervousness.
The recall notice states that no illnesses from energy drinks have been reported.
A complete list of problematic energy drinks can be found on the Government of Canada’s Recalls and Safety Alerts website.
