We are concerned about the possibility of young people overdosing on high caffeine products and requiring hospital treatment. We are also concerned about the possible toxicity and accessibility of high caffeine products for young people. We urge the Government to pass a law which restricts sales to adults only, enforces age checks and ensures safe placement in shops to help prevent overdoses and protect young people.
